Monitoring And Evaluation Specialist

Organizational Setting
IFISH is a joint project between FAO and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, aiming to mainstream biodiversity conservation and sustainable use into inland fisheries practices in freshwater ecosystems of high conservation value. The project started in 2017, with a three-pronged strategy to combine mainstreaming of inland aquatic biodiversity into resource development and management policy; demonstrations of conservation and sustainable use of inland aquatic biodiversity in critical habitats; and effective monitoring and assessment. IFISH project works in five demonstration areas in Indonesia, targeting high value fish in each district, namely: eel in Java (Cilacap and Sukabumi), arowana and beje fisheries in Kalimantan (South Barito and Kapuas), and belida in Sumatra (Kampar).
With support from GEF, IFish project has become the largest inland fisheries project in Indonesia. Inland fisheries are generally cultivated by small-scale industries, by communities along the watershed. Therefore, protection of ecosystems and sustainable management of inland fisheries have major impact on enhancing food security and providing livelihood for people who depend on inland aquatic biodiversity.
