    • Description of Project and Results Achieved:
    The goal of the project is to support the transition of SEAMEO centres to become demand driven centres providing training services and technical assistance for the private and public sector clients within the sub-region.

    The purpose of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the SEAMEO Centers to develop marketing strategies, expanding the scope of their service delivery capacity and increasing the accessibility and relevance of programs. In addition, the project will increase sub-regional self-reliance and improve SEAMEO's resource diversification through building the capacity of SEMEOLEC and the Viet Nam Regional Training Centre (VNRTC) in the application of distance education and training needs assessment and customer responsiveness, respectively.

    Nature of Services (planning, management, technical assistance, training, procurement, etc.):
    The proponents conceive the work program as falling into the following five primary clusters:
    Work Cluster # 1 - Inventory and Planning;
    Work Cluster # 2 - Capacity Building;
    Work Cluster # 3 - Implementation of Business Development Strategy;
    Work Cluster # 4 - Support to Program Delivery; and
    Work Cluster # 5 - Monitoring and Evaluation

    These principles underpin the design and sequencing of activities and will be similarly reflected in the implementation responsibilities. Overall a project management committee representing all stakeholders will undertake project co-ordination and guidance.

    • Description of Project and Results Achieved:
    The principle objectives are to develop sustainability of the activities of the project and to create an approved ASEAN work plan for fisheries establishing an ASEAN Network of Fisheries Post-Harvest Technology Centre's (ASEAN Network).

    • Nature of Services (planning, management, technical assistance, training, procurement, etc.):
    ASEAN Fisheries Post-Harvest Technology Information site (web) shared with APEC and other Asian countries; ASEAN Network took a pro-active role in training and dissemination of Project derived training materials and involves academia and industry in the implementation of its HACCP curricula in an Alliance; Regional split -sample testing; and ASEAN Network involved itself in further work, meetings and collaborative activities (if requested) to harmonize quality assurance programs in the region.

    This allowed ASEAN to work as a group under the ASEAN Network to evolve its structure, sustainability and disseminate information benefiting industry. The objectives of the project to the ASEAN region would include the effective transfer of technical development to the private sector, and the assured continuity of the project's activities after its termination.

    The project activities integrated into the work program of the respective departments of fisheries and as such, there will be significant contribution by all ASEAN member countries to support the activities of the project.
