The Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) is a dynamic regional initiative aimed at promoting sustainable fisheries management and enhancing food security across 15 Pacific Island Countries. Funded by the European Union and Sweden, PEUMP tackles critical challenges like the depletion of coastal fisheries, threats to marine biodiversity, and the impacts of climate change. With a focus on achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the program fosters inclusive economic growth, amplifies women’s roles in fisheries management, and supports social inclusion through thoughtful training and capacity building.

PEUMP collaborates with key regional agencies including the Pacific Community, Forum Fisheries Agency, and various NGOs to align efforts with national priorities and local needs. The program emphasizes a multi-sectoral approach that safeguards marine resources while addressing inequalities, ensuring equitable benefits across the Pacific. By integrating gender and human rights into its framework, PEUMP is committed to creating a prosperous blue economy that leaves no one behind, ultimately promoting a healthier marine environment and community resilience.
