While fisheries authorities have important roles to play, the technical and vocational institutional
arrangements provide the partnerships for success. Thus the role of the RO is vital to the
sustainability of the projects activities, in ensuring an ongoing facility, following the completion of
FAO project TCP/RLA/0069, to provide quality training to boatbuilders and fishing boat
inspectors.
