ACP Fish II is a project manages by AESA that aims at strengthening fisheries sectoral policy development and implementation in ACP countries, by helping each ACP region and partner country to draw up and implement a strategy for the sustainable development of the fishery sector, and enabling ACP regions and states themselves to identify and articulate their policy objectives, decide on how they intend to achieve those objectives, ensure that there is a consistency between policy objectives and the legislation intended to deliver those objectives, and to find solutions for obstacles that stand in the way of good policy being effectively implemented.
By this service contract AESA manages and implements the programme through a Coordination Unit (CU) based in Brussels and six Regional Facilitation Units (RFUs) located within ACP countries.
