The goal of the fellowship program is to strengthen Pacific regional capacity
in financing for improved ocean governance and health. The program will run
from June 1, 2019 to March 1, 2020. The deadline to
apply<https://conservation-strategy.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=df034f8789d60f1d288badd67&id=f0594fd8dd&e=d38958e957>
is May 7th, 2019.
We are seeking applicants from diverse backgrounds including private sector,
government, academic and civil society professionals who are citizens or
permanent residents of Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
If you have a passion for the ocean, leadership experience, and an interest in
economics, finance, and/or business, then this fellowship is for you.
The new 9-month Pacific Ocean Finance Fellowship will upskill 10 outstanding
professionals from the Pacific Islands in financing for improved ocean
governance, management, and health. The program includes two in-depth
week-long trainings (24-28 June - Solomon Islands & 4-8 November - Fiji),
participation in the 2019 Pacific Ocean Finance Conference (11-15 November -
Fiji), as well as an individual project on the fellow's home island with
guidance from an expert mentor (June 2019 - Feb 2020). The training and
individual projects will focus on four ocean finance actions:
1) Generate public and private financial capital through traditional and
innovative finance mechanisms to create diversified portfolios,
2) Invest financial capital effectively, efficiently, and strategically within
appropriate policy frameworks and multi-sector strategies,
3) Align public and private economic incentives with long-term ocean health, and
4) Account for how financial capital is deployed against performance
benchmarks, and account for values of marine ecosystem services through time.
Fellows will not receive a salary or compensation, and must provide evidence of
employer or institutional support. Fellows will receive a small grant to be
used for their individual projects.
This fellowship program is part of the Pacific Ocean Finance
Program<https://conservation-strategy.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=df034f8789d60f1d288badd67&id=33f1f8d159&e=d38958e957>,
which is Component 3 of the Pacific Regional Oceanscape Program (PROP) -
funded by World Bank and Global Environment Facility - and implemented through
FFA and OPOC. The aim of the Pacific Ocean Finance Program is to improve the
amount and efficacy of finance for Pacific Ocean governance.
