The Communities and Coast Programme works to improve resource management policy by ensuring community based approaches
are incorporated into national, regional and
international policy frameworks.
The Programme facilitates and coordinates the
concerns of affiliates to ensure that community
issues are reflected at the national, regional and
international level. It also focuses on enhancing
environmental governance skills to enable
communities to interact more effectively with
government.
The Programme
also recognizes that community-based coastal
resource management is a powerful development
tool for reducing poverty, implementing
biodiversity conservation and promoting
sustainable economic development in the Pacific.
