Capacity Needs Assessment for the Development of a Training Course on Socioeconomics to Support Fisheries and Natural Resource Management in the Pacific Region

Objectives: The consultancy project aims to conduct a comprehensive capacity needs assessment to develop a targeted training course on socioeconomics for natural resource management in the Pacific region. This project seeks to support fisheries and natural resource practitioners by identifying and exploring the necessary tools, opportunities, and requirements for effectively utilizing socio-economic methods in their work. The initiative involves conducting consultations, desk research, and designing various course options to systematize and sustain long-term training for the Pacific Island countries' managers and practitioners, ensuring integration of gender and social inclusion lenses and responding to specific training needs in socioeconomics.
