Description
The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) was announced this year as a key bilateral aid programme under the £500m Blue Planet Fund. OCPP objectives are to support countries to tackle marine pollution, support sustainable seafood practices and establish designated, well-managed and enforced Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
Through the support of OCPP, the Government of Belize (GoB) will spearhead the formulation of a National Maritime Policy.
Cefas requires the successful Tenderer to provide technical maritime advisory services, working in-country in Belize, to collate the priorities of the various government entities and stakeholders of Belize and support the government in the design and delivery of a National Maritime Policy.
a) Deliverable 1: Inception Report - which will outline the delivery plan for the project, with full content to be agreed with Cefas and key counterparts in Belize following initial meetings and discussions. It should include a 'current situation' introduction and an analysis of approaches to group stakeholder consultation.
b) Deliverable 2: National Maritime Policy (Technical Draft) - which will be presented to stakeholders and to the public for consultation.
c) Deliverable 3: Revised Draft - following collection of analysis from consultation, and incorporation of feedback, to be reviewed by key stakeholders.
d) Deliverable 4: National Maritime Policy (Gazettal Draft) - which will be presented for public record of the final draft policy, followed by submission to Government of Belize for Cabinet approval.
e) Deliverable 5: Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E), Continuity & Succession plan - which should include socio-economic and environmental rationales for the sectoral trajectories enabled by the National Maritime Policy.
f) Deliverable 6: Provision of a donor dialogue for the Government of Belize to be able to seek funding and support for the implementation of the policy.
Travel to Belize is required to ensure strong working relationships with key stakeholders throughout the Contract.
