Background:
Global Fishing Watch is an international nonprofit organisation committed to advancing ocean sustainability and stewardship through increasing transparency. We do this by offering, for free, data and near real-time tracking of global commercial fishing activity, supporting new science and research, and boosting global cooperation on ocean transparency. As part of its efforts, the organisation is seeking a consultant to help consolidate and analyse the country policy assessment reports of GFW’s first cohort of core countries.
Purpose and Objectives:
The purpose of this consultancy is to synthesize, analyse and summarise all the policy assessments of the first cohort of GFW core countries.
Scope of Work:
The consultant will be responsible for designing and producing the following products:
- Develop a full report for internal GFW readership that synthesizes all the GFW-commissioned, core country policy assessment reports completed through August 31, 2024. The core countries with existing policy assessments includes: Chile, Peru, Brazil, Senegal, Gabon (draft as of July 26), Viet Nam, Taiwan, Republic of Marshall Islands (draft as of July 26), Palau (draft as of July 26) and Montenegro. This report is to include highlights, commonalities, shared challenges, and major opportunities aligned with GFW policy priorities including enhanced transparency, improved data sharing, vessel tracking and ultimate beneficial ownership. Noted, that in many cases the core country did not take part in the compilation of the original policy assessment report. The policy assessment reports to be used as source material are not intended to be shared beyond the consultant. The country reports are of varying length and degrees of detail. If the existing assessment reports do not provide adequate information, external research may be needed.
- Using the full report described in no. 1 above as a basis, develop a second, shorter report, designed for core country decision makers on policy that will be provided to various stakeholders. This report is to cover all core countries and include commonalities, shared challenges, and identify major opportunities and recommendations for the group of core countries that are aligned with GFW policy priorities including enhanced transparency, improved data sharing, vessel tracking and ultimate beneficial ownership. Any obvious barriers to the countries achieving this work should be noted, if possible.
