Data Sharing Mechanism

On July 1, 2024, the second Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on the development of the RPOA-IUU Data Sharing Mechanism (DSM) was held virtually. The discussion went exceptionally well, with nearly all participating companies expressing their agreement on moving forward with the DSM development. The session commenced with a presentation by Mr. Eko, who reiterated the commitments made during the Data Sharing Mechanism meeting on October 25, 2023, in Dili, Timor Leste. He referenced the decision made by the Coordination Committee Meeting (CCM) during the 11th RPOA-IUU Coordination Committee (CC) Meeting on November 13-14, 2019, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which encouraged RPOA-IUU countries to establish a working group for a Joint Statement and a working group on the DSM to bolster RPOA-IUU’s capacity.
