Project context
The Multi-Stakeholder Partnership for Sustainable Tuna Fisheries, Livelihoods, and Communities in Mindoro Straits and Lagonoy Gulf, Philippines was initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Tambuyog Development Center. This MSP promotes equitable and sustainable tuna supply chains and sustainable management of yellowfin tuna in Philippine waters, enhances the socio-economic situation of small-scale handline tuna fishers and secures their livelihoods in the long-term. This initiative is implemented in a partnership with several actors along the tuna supply chain. At the outset of this initiative in 2018, CLI travelled to Manila and trained 28 persons – the core container and a handpicked group of stakeholders from the public and private sectors, NGOs, and representatives of the fisher communities – in the approach of multi-stakeholder collaboration and MSP.
