Abstract: This request is for a new collection of information. The aim of the evaluation is to understand the effectiveness of the capacity development efforts of the Pacific Islands Managed and Protected Area Community, as known as PIMPAC. The survey will assess to what extent PIMPAC has developed human and organizational capacities to enhance protected area management in the Pacific island region. The survey will be used to interview primarily partners working at Not-for-profit organizations, state and federal agencies in the US Pacific Affiliated Flag Islands of Hawaii, Guam, the Central Northern Marianas Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Results of the survey are expected to help guide and improve the effectiveness of capacity development activities by PIMPAC for protected area management in the next ten years.
