Project Mandate
Resonance is seeking candidates that are local nationals to serve as the Communications Assistant to be based in Jakarta, Indonesia for the USAID/Indonesia Ber-IKAN Activity, which is a five-year project through July 2027. The Collaborative Fisheries Management or "Ber-IKAN" Activity seeks to advance Indonesia's self-reliance to protect marine biodiversity by improving sustainable and equitable management of fisheries. This 5-year project contributes to the 2020-2024 USAID Indonesia Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS), and focuses on the following four main objectives:
1. Improved adoption of and compliance with evidence-based fisheries policies for priority fisheries.
2. Strengthened small-scale fisheries governance.
3. Increased government and market-based incentives for sustainable seafood products.
4. Improved protection of ETP marine species affected by fishing practices.
As the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) works to operationalize WPP networks, USAID Ber-IKAN is poised to facilitate and deepen effective collaboration among the multiple stakeholders in WPP 711 and 715. To increase awareness of and commitment to new and updated Government of Indonesia (GOI) management plans, regulations and policies, as well as to international Endangered, Threatened, Protected (ETP) marine species protection requirements and good fisheries management practices, USAID Ber-IKAN will apply an adaptive approach that leverages partnerships across the public, private, and community spectrum and empowers small-scale fishers, women, youth, and indigenous people's communities in fisheries management. It will adopt iterative processes that encourage participatory and inclusive co-design of management plans and maximizes market-based approaches to drive innovation and strengthen incentives for positive behavior change and compliance. In doing so, USAID Ber-IKAN will amplify and bolster government, industry, and other stakeholders' efforts to ensure economically viable, sustainable, and resilient fisheries in Indonesia.
