National Coordination Units (NCU)

Implementation and monitoring structure of SFLP activities


National Coordination Units (NCU)	National Coordination Units, set up in each of the 25 participating countries, are responsible for the implementation of SFLP field activities. NCU members include resource persons from different levels of the government (fisheries, decentralisation, poverty reduction programmes coordination Units, etc.) and from civil society (NGO, professional associations, etc).

NCUs are at the heart of the Programme. The main function of the NCU in each country is to coordinate the various actions undertaken between relevant national and local government authorities with professional associations and artisanal fisheries communities. They are mandated to ensure that communities interact and participate in the identification of grass-root projects and also to supervise and monitor the execution of community and pilot projects supported by the SFLP in their countries.

They are also expected to establish contacts with development partners in their respective countries to create synergies and by so doing, have a greater impact on the targeted communities.
