Outcomes Outputs Actual outputs
Outcome A.1: Appropriate tools and methodologies are used to manage critical coastal and marine habitats to enhance their resilience and long-term sustainability Output A.1.1:  National institutions undertake participatory spatial planning to increase the resilience of selected key coastal ecosystems to anthropogenic impacts including the impacts of climate change and variability
  • Seychelles, Mauritius, and South Africa have developed and implemented Strategies, Policies, and Legislation specific to MSP, which have informed Seychelles’ declaration of 30% of its EEZ as a marine protected area. 
  • Development of a regional MSP Strategy E7
  Output A.1.2: Management plans developed and adopted for at least five (5) key critical coastal and marine habitats, reinforcing the regional MPA network and mitigating habitat loss and climate change impacts
  • 7 management plans are being developed. 
  • 4 management plans for four MPAs in Comoros. 
  Output A.1.3: At least one key degraded critical coastal habitat was restored, and resilience increased
  • Regional Restoration Guideline on Mangroves
  • Regional Restoration Guideline on Seagrasses 
  Output A.1.4: Pilot actions build capacity in ICM, demonstrating how ICM can be strengthened at the local level through the empowerment of communities and other actors at demonstration sites (under A.1.1 and A.1.2)
