Action Plan for Vietnam Kien Giang Blue Swimming Crab Fishery Improvement Project (FIP)

The original  fisheries  improvement project  (FIP) Action Plan was developed  following a FIP  stakeholder meeting held  in Kien Giang, Vietnam  in  June 2010, and was  finalized  in  July 2010.   The  purpose of  this document is to update the revised 2013 Action Plan, based on results of the FIP review meeting held in Rach Giang, Vietnam on August 29-30, 2014, and to provide background  information on the number of ongoing and new activities that are underway, reconfirm activities which have not yet been implemented, and revise activities based on new  information, which may  include revisions to the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Fisheries Assessment Methodology (FAM). The revisions to the Milestones have been made along with some deleted activities which were deemed to be too costly, or could be developed in a more efficient way.  This revised Action Plan includes information on the proposed milestones for each activity, the scoring guideposts met, the stakeholder organization responsible  for  implementation, the expected timeframe to complete the task and the current status. Work plans for each outcome and activity had been set in 2010, but were later refined into milestones in December 2012. A project logframe was developed which  integrated the milestones set, with the previously defined activities. The milestones and  logframe have been adjusted to reflect the changed agreed in the August, 2014 workshop outputs. The document also includes the use of MSCs new Benchmark Tracking Tool.
