Since 2016, the Blue Belt Programme has been working with UK Overseas Territories (OTs) to enhance protection and sustainable management across 4 million square kilometres of important marine environment. Sustainable finance solutions for marine management and conservation of marine resources are increasingly becoming important considerations and part of new knowledge base to support the UKOTs daily and annual work to sustainably manage their current funds and to diversify into funding streams.

2) The Contactor will discuss, scope and deliver a bespoke financial training package for the Government of Tristan da Cunha.
The training will be delivered for one OT only initially (Tristan da Cunha) as a pilot study and will be delivered virtually. The Contractor will also scope the option to deliver face-to-face training to the relevant UKOT representatives later this year (2022). Face-to-face training will be delivered in the UK by the the Contractor. Location and venue to be agreed with the Customer, costs for the venue will be managed by the Customer (if required).
Options to extend the training to more OTs will be discussed with the Customer during the delivery of the current listed deliverables.
