 “This is the second meeting of the PSC and from the discussions I have had with other countries, everyone is much more aware of the Project at this point. In comparison to other countries, Mozambique is a little bit behind in terms of knowing and understanding the project, what it is to produce and what its outcomes and outputs are to be. However, a lot of issues have been clarified at this meeting and the PCU has achieved a lot in its first year.
Now we are going into a crucial phase; the foundations have been laid and the project will have more visibility in the countries. The PCU has all the different groups (data and information; training and capacity building; communication; and policy and governance) in place and they are now prepared to deal with the countries intensively. In the future Mozambique will be more involved in this project. I believe that the ASCLME Project will be useful to the region and to our country.” Domingos Gove, Director, Fisheries Research Institute (IIP), Mozambique.
