The key outcome indicators of project success include: (a) improved sustainable management of fisheries resources, including strengthened research, planning, regulation, and monitoring in the sector; and (b) increased incomes derived from fisheries sector development and production through better fish handling, quality and marketing. To achieve these objectives, the project aims to: (i) provide policy and institutional support for effective fisheries sector management; (ii) promote and strengthen local fishermen cooperatives to be engaged in the management of fish landing sites, marketing, monitoring, control and stock assessment; and (iii) raise quality standards to meet international criteria, thus promoting fish exports and health safety.

2 Implementation Status Overview There has been significant progress made during the preceding semester. The Cabinet finally ratified and approved the restructuring proposal on October 19, 2010 prepared by MFW. Moreover, MFW has developed a clear and time-bound plan to bring the restructuring process to final and satisfactory closure in six-months. Furthermore, the MFW has developed a draft proposal for management of the auction yards. Activities under Infrastructure and Quality Control Component are proceeding well albeit with slow pace. it is expected that implementation as well as disbrusement will accelerate after signing the two large contracts for rehabilitation and improvement of Nishtoon and Al-Khawbah fishing ports as the bidding process for these contracts has been completed. Procurement and financial management is good and the project keeps very good files and records.
