Description

The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) was announced in 2021 as a key bilateral aid programme under the £500m Blue Planet Fund.

The OCPP is a UK Government-led programme delivered under the Blue Planet Fund. Through this programme, Cefas, in partnership with JNCC and MMO, provide technical assistance to support countries in tackling marine pollution, support sustainable seafood practices, and establish designated, well-managed and enforced MPAs.

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).

This includes collecting data to evaluate the status of particular forms of pollution such as ALDFG, collecting data that could be beneficial to start conversations about solutions. This also includes an outreach programme on ALDFG to raise awareness of the possible impacts of ALDFG.

The project is designed to be inclusive, and the questionnaire and any presentations/workshops must be delivered in three languages (English, Sinhala and Tamil) according to the target communities. The successful Tenderer will also provide a report of activities, reach and engagement, and a copy of all data collected.
