The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF) Capacity Building Roadmap aims to enhance competencies for safeguarding marine ecosystems in the Coral Triangle the world’s epicentre of marine biodiversity covering Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. Grounded in the CTI-CFF Regional Plan of Action (RPOA), this initiative aligns regional efforts with global conservation objectives, including the global goal to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. It was developed after a comprehensive stocktake analysis of capacity-building needs in the Coral Triangle. Developed collaboratively by CTI-CFF, Coral Triangle Center (CTC), WWF Coral Triangle Program and supported by USAID Sustainable Fish Asia (SUFiA), it aims to ensure sustainable management of biodiversity across the Coral Triangle region. It was endorsed by the six Coral Triangle countries during the CTI-CFF Senior Officials meeting in November 2023.
