PEMSEA Resource Facility (PRF) Secretariat Services is now fully operational
The PRF Secretariat Services is set to work to provide secretariat support to the PEMSEA regional mechanism, which includes the EAS Partnership Council, the Ministerial Forum, the Regional Partnership Fund, the EAS Congress and the PEMSEA Resource Facility.
Moreover, the PRF Secretariat will also facilitate knowledge transfer and capacity building as well as monitor, evaluate and report on adopted work programs and time-bound targets related to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia (SDS-SEA).
Recognizing the significance of the PRF, PEMSEA State Partners have expressed their commitment and support to the PRF Secretariat Services. The Governments of PR China, Japan, and RO Korea in particular have provided financial support for the operation of the PRF Secretariat Services. Equally significant, the Government of the Philippines, which has hosted the PEMSEA secretariat since 1994, through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), has constructed a new addition to the PEMSEA Office Building.
