Encuentro; VII ACAP Advisory Committee Meeting; 2013

Acuerdo sobre la Conservación de Albatros y Petreles

The Fourth Meeting of the Parties (Lima 2012) approved the use and further development of a series of performance indicators and also considered the development of capacity indicators. This document includes a draft exercise carried out by Argentina in order to assess the feasibility of a series of proposed indicators and start a debate leading to consider other possibilities. Article IV of the Text of the Agreement on Capacity Development was used as the basis to define indicators. Further to this Article, the proposed indicators include: (1) number of meetings/ workshops/ training sessions to which ACAP has provided technical or financial support, (2) number of meetings/workshops on capacity building pursuant to the ACAP, (3) specific training for onboard observer programmes. It is proposed that the baseline for further comparisons incorporate the state of affairs during the triennium prior to the ratification of the Agreement by each of the Members. Implementation of this indicator should not cause difficulties, as a considerable amount of the information required is being incorporated by the countries into the annual report submitted to the Advisory Committee.
