how we do it

Each training program is designed usingg the Integrated Ecosystems Approach, wherein a common resource base such as a bay, gulf, watershed, or declared protected area is considered, and as far as practicable, training participants come from one contigouus area. The Institute will endeavor to design its projects towards the attainment of specific and measurable impacts on the common resource as a result of the integrated action plan output of the participants.

The specific and measurable impacts identified in the action plan are assessed after a period of six months to one year from the conduct of training through a monitoring and evaluationactivity. The impact of the training is monitored, not only on the paticipant, but on the identified common resource base as well.
