Purpose and role

The Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Recurrent and Protracted Crisis (SPARC) programme is looking to contract a company to develop a podcast series for the programme. We are looking to develop four episodes, based around three of the main workstreams:

• Aid and Resilience;
• Livelihoods and Markets;
• Land and Conflict

Each of these episodes will need to include our cross cutting themes of gender equality and social inclusion; innovation; and climate change.

For the fourth episode we would like to produce a one off ‘highlights’ of the three episodes above in French.

We will need support to devise, produce, record, edit and mix these episodes. This will include recording speakers remotely, including those based across our SPARC countries. Advice on hosting these podcasts is also welcome.

Background of project

Project’s title: Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and unsustainable behaviour of Distant Water Fishing Fleets

This project will address a fundamental data gap related to distant water fishing (DWF) fleets to help inform sustainable fisheries policies in five developing economies (Senegal, Ghana, Peru, Ecuador, and the Philippines), which are some of the most vulnerable fisheries in the world where the impacts of unsustainable fishing affect people’s income, employment, and food security the hardest. Using a replicable and scalable approach, the project will:

• visualise, define, and investigate the scale, form, and behaviour of the international and national DWF fleets operating within the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and surrounding waters of each country;
  
• study and compare illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and unsustainable behaviour of the DWF fleets in these EEZs to identify patterns and commonalities, as well as concrete vessels (including the companies behind them); and
  
• estimate the economic losses derived from this activity to build a business case for policy and enforcement reform.

Purpose and role

ODI is seeking a case study researcher for the Philippines case study as part of the above project. They will work with the Economist and the Technical Lead in generating the country case studies, offering local insights and support with local stakeholders.
