The project “Collection of Information about International Supports in the Region” was initiated in 2003 under component 3 of the Japanese Trust Fund III with the main objective of creating an information system that will act as a resource base for evaluating the range of activities, resources and sources of assistance in Southeast Asia. This system will be useful in identifying the priority areas for the development of new projects and collaboration. It will also contribute to the successful implementation of SEAFDEC’s initiatives in improving regional coordination across areas including human resource development, research, resource management and policy development.
