Staff Regulation & Staff Policies and Procedures Manual 2023

Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) is a

multilateral partnership of six countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea,

Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste – to safeguard the Coral Triangle

region over the concern of increasing level of degradation of the marine and coastal

ecosystems.

The partnership aims to address the threats through collaborative and concerted

eforts, taking into consideration multi-stakeholder participation. At the global scale,

the partnership’s goal is to contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) and the Aichi Biodiversity Target as agreed in the UN

Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), as well as in the UN Framework Convention

on Climate Change (FCCC), to sustain life on earth.

The 8th CTI-CFF Ministerial Meeting held on 29 November 2022 has approved and

endorsed on the amendments made to the Staff Regulations and the Staff Policies

and Procedures Manual for effective functioning of the Regional Secretariat in line

with the current and future development.

The amended Staff Regulation and the Staff Policies and Procedures Manual,

adopted new definitions of staff and dependent, working agreement, overtime and

leave, as well as on allowance. The Regional Secretariat is expected to carry out its

day-to-day function, guided by principles and ideals which the CTI-CFF upholds.

It is my privilege to present the Staff Regulations and Staff Policies and Procedures

Manual with the hope that they can provide better guidance to all staffs, member

countries, partners and stakeholders on governing and functions of the CTI-CFF

Regional Secretariat.
