This Annual Operational Plan (AOP) is a working document which outlines in detail activities that will be undertaken by the project for the fiscal period April 2015 - March 2016. Activities focus on support for the different programme areas and strengthening the institutional capacity of the Fisheries Department (FD), Coastal Zone Management Authority and Institute (CZMAI), the Forest Department, and Fishermen Association/Cooperatives. The Project Operations Manual (POM) provides information on the management and implementation of the overall MCCAP, including the broad project activities, detailed procurement and financial management procedures and Monitoring & Evaluation Guidelines. The AOP is meant to complement the POM, detailing activities for Year 1 of the Project.
