MFF

Programmes of Work

MFF’s objectives are supported by 15 Programmes of Work (PoWs), grouped under the three “pillars” of Apply knowledge, Empower civil society and Enhance governance. By making more knowledge available, and by empowering people and institutions to use that knowledge, MFF enables coastal stakeholders to play a more effective role in governance of coastal areas. Capacity building, climate change, gender equality, knowledge
management and communications, and private sector partnerships are crosscutting themes integrated throughout this framework to help achieve positive results for each PoW.

Each National Coordinating Body (NCB) has developed a National Strategy and Action Plan (NSAP) for MFF implementation that reflects national priorities for sustainable coastal development, based on identification of the most relevant PoWs for that country. This has facilitated country ownership of the PoWs, and has helped to generate collaboration and learning among the NCB members and other national stakeholders.

The PoWs are implemented through, or in partnership with, the governments of member countries, institutional partners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations and the
private sector. The RSC oversees this work to ensure accountability and transparency to MFF’s donors and other contributors.
