ACIAR | Innovating fish-based livelihoods in the community economies of Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands. Annual report: July 2022 to June 2023

Abstract

Project work has progressed rapidly following the COVID-19 lockdowns in Q1/Q2 2022. During the reporting period the project hosted over 20 partner meetings, and we spent 280 staff days conducting field work, whereof at least half were Government partner staff days. Three community level fish-handling and product demonstrations were arranged and two showcase events for international visitors and dignitaries. Two community meetings were independently carried out by Government partners using project funds and six trainings events were arranged for research teams and/or partners. We published two peer-review papers, two reports, three briefs, one book section and presented at three international conferences. These metrics represent a very busy year focused on partner integration, field work, and outreach.
