Draft Annotated Agenda
1. Welcome and Workshop Objectives
Participants will be welcomed, a Chair selected and the agenda approved.
The main purpose of the CLME Project Concept/TDA Synthesis Technical Workshop is
to develop the technical components of the draft Full-Sized Project (FSP) document for
review by the CLME Steering Committee and other project partners and the subsequent
submission to the GEF.
Objectives: Participants will work over the four-day period to accomplish the
following objectives:
· Identification and agreement on the filling of gaps and the interventions necessary
for inclusion in the draft FSP as drawn from the preliminary Transboundary
Diagnostic Assessment (TDA) reports for the Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem;
· Refinement of demonstration projects to be included in the draft FSP proposal;
· Refinement of activities to be undertaken under the Regional Governance/ LME-
Wide Monitoring and Reporting components of the FSP proposal; and,
· Agreement on the components of the FSP proposal and identification of linkages
and cross-references between the proposed project components.
· Identification of key potential partners and a strategy for securing partnership
involvement and co-financing commitments for the implementation of the FSP.
2. The CLME Project Concept
The current thinking behind the development of the FSP proposal will be presented.
This will include an overview of the proposed components of the FSP, proposed budget
and timelines.
3. Sub-regional Preliminary TDA Reports Break-Out Sessions
To begin the process of identifying appropriate interventions based on the overall
findings of the preliminary TDA, participants will be divided into sub-regional groupings,
where the findings as described in the preliminary sub-regional TDA reports will be
discussed and reviewed. The groupings will consist of members from the Guianas-
Brazil sub-region, the Insular Caribbean sub-region and the Central/South America sub-
region. Sub-regional participants will be contributing their knowledge and technical
expertise to review the preliminary reports.
Expectation: To reach agreement on the accuracy and completeness of the draft
reports.
4. Report of Sub-regional Groupings to Plenary
Each sub-regional grouping will present the outcome of the review of the preliminary
TDA document for discussion by all participants.
Expectation: To expand the review from a pan-Caribbean perspective of the
accuracy and completeness of the draft reports.
5. CLME-wide Issues Break-out Groups
In this break-out session, workshop participants from throughout the Caribbean will be
divided into groups based on the key issues, causal chain analysis and
recommendations identified in the preliminary TDA reports. Pan-Caribbean participants
in each grouping will be contributing their knowledge and technical expertise to
specifically discuss each issue under review.
Expectation: To agree on the identified issues, causes and recommendations
provided in the reports.
6. Report of Issues Break-Out Groups to Plenary
Each pan-Caribbean grouping will present the outcome of the review of the priority
issues, causes and recommendations to all participants.
Expectation: To agree on the contents of a draft integrated preliminary TDA report
for the Caribbean LME based on the information presented in the sub-regional draft
reports and the subsequent review and discussion.
7. Identification of TDA-Based Interventions (Plenary)
Following the discussion of the previous sessions leading to the development of the
integrated draft preliminary TDA report for the CLME, participants will specifically
discuss gaps as revealed in the preliminary TDA (including technical data and
information and institutional gaps) and set priorities for addressing these.
Expectation: To reach agreement on and to recommend interventions for inclusion in
the FSP proposal.
8. Regional Governance Thematic Reports (Plenary)
Participants will review and discuss the findings presented in two workshop reports on
regional governance, namely the thematic reports on Fisheries Governance and Non-
Extractable Resource Governance.
Expectation: To reach agreement on the regional governance approach for the
CLME project.
9. Review of Project Concept
A summary review of the project concept based on discussions up to this period will be
presented.
10. Demonstration Projects Break-Out Sessions
In this break-out session, workshop participants from throughout the Caribbean will be
divided into groups based on their interest in each of the 4 proposed transboundary
demonstration projects: Flyingfish; Shrimp and Groundfish; Lobster; and Reef
Ecosystem/ Biodiversity. The discussion will centre around key aspects of the pilot
including its objectives, key activities, outcomes, partners, funding and co-financing.
Expectation: To develop draft demonstration projects at a level of detail suitable for
inclusion in the draft FSP
11. Report of Demonstration Projects Groups to Plenary
Each demonstration project group will provide the details of the project to Plenary for
discussion.
Expectation: To reach agreement on the approach and activities for the
demonstration projects for inclusion in the draft FSP.
12. Regional Governance and LME-wide Monitoring and Reporting
This component of the draft FSP will be presented and discussed in Plenary, including
recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of regional governance of
transboundary living marine resources within the Caribbean context.
Expectation: To obtain agreement on the details of this component of the draft FSP.
13. Preliminary Stakeholder Assessment
Having discussed preliminary integrated TDA/SAP, the demonstration projects and the
regional governance and monitoring and reporting components of the draft FSP,
participants will be presented with a draft preliminary assessment of the key
stakeholders within the Wider Caribbean and the potential for involvement with the
CLME Project, based on existing mandates, roles, responsibilities and activities.
Discussion will then centre around enhancing the level of information available on key
stakeholders at all levels (local, national, sub-regional and LME-wide).
Expectation: To contribute to the filling of gaps in the institutional map of actors
within the Wider Caribbean.
14. Securing Co-Financing Commitments
This session will focus on identifying means to secure partnership commitment and co-
financing and identification of a plan of action to obtain those.
Expectation: To identify a plan of action to obtain the needed financial commitment (in-
kind and/or cash) from CLME member countries and other partners, as well as a range
of stakeholders and potential donors for inclusion in the draft FSP.
15. Overview of Draft FSP Proposal/Component cross-linkages
Participants will review the draft FSP proposal based on the discussions and decisions
of the previous 3 days of work. Discussion will then centre around the identification of
cross linkages among the various project components
Expectation: Agreement on draft FSP component details and cross linkages among
the components.
16. Populating the Draft Project Components Partnership Diagrams
This session will use the knowledge obtained during the course of the workshop on the
components of the FSP and key stakeholders to discuss a strategy for identifying and
engaging specific potential partners in the various components of the CLME FSP. Effort
will be directed towards populating each of the components partnership diagrams with
key partners at the local, national, sub-regional and LME-wide levels and developing a
process for soliciting these partners.
Expectation: To identify project component implementation partners and a course of
action to obtain their commitment.
17. Next Steps and Adjournment
Reiteration of next steps as discussed during the workshop.
Closing message, expression of thanks, etc.
