STAFF REGULATIONS & STAFF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL 2024

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 9th CTI-CFF Ministerial Meeting held on 6 December 2024 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.

Amendments made to SPPM specifications on page 42, Chapter 5 regarding working hours, and Article 20 about overtime, 2. Overtime can only be carried out upon prior approval by the Executive Director.

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.
