Supporting the Development of the Blue Economy in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States OECS

The IDB intends to contract consulting services to support the Development of the Blue Economy in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States OECS.

The consulting services include the development of a Legislative Gap Analysis and Regional Strategic Action Plan for the Development of the Blue Economy in the OECS Member States in the second quarter of 2023.

The consulting firm should establish the necessary legislative framework for the implementation of the strategies highlighted in the National Ocean Policies (NOPs) of the OECS member states. More specifically, the consultancy should develop a Legislative Gap Analysis Report to assess current gaps and opportunities to promote the implementation of the National Ocean Policies (NOPs) and the overall development of the Blue Economy from a governance perspective. The consulting firm should also assess whether the existing legislative framework constrains the development and expansion of key Blue Economy industries (e.g., mariculture).

Additionally, the consulting firm should develop a Strategic Action Plan to support decision-makers in the OECS to promote investments and policy planning on the Blue Economy.
