The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reef, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI–CFF) Regional Secretariat recently hosted the “Selection Process of Deputy Executive Director for Program and Corporate Services” from 27-28 June 2016 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The Deputy Executive Director (DED) positions are crucial to support the Executive Director, especially to strengthen the operations of the Regional Secretariat. More importantly the DEDs are expected to lead in program/project design and implementation under the RPOA goals and targets.

The Appointment Committee

The CTI Council of Ministers (CTI-COM) delegated the responsibility and mandate to the CTI Committee of Senior Officials (CTI-CSO) to establish an Appointment Committee in order to conduct the selection process and recommend candidates to the CTI-COM. 

During the 11th CTI-CFF Senior Officials’ Meeting held on 2-3 December 2015, the CTI-CSO submitted their nominations as members of the Appointment Committee to advance the selection process[1].

The members of the Appointment Committee from all CT6 member countries participated in the selection process except for Papua New Guinea. However, Papua New Guinea responded to the invitation letter and confirmed its consent to proceed with the selection process of the Deputy Executive Directors.

Final process
