CRISP Coordination unit: first programme consolidated report

Originating in a French political commitment to contributing to the development of the Pacific Island states, the Initiative for the Protection and Sustainable Management of Coral Reefs in the South Pacific was prepared by the French Development Agency as part of an inter-ministerial arrangement as from 2002, in
close collaboration with the Permanent Secretariat for the Pacific (Office of the Prime Minister). A call for proposals was issued in June 2003 and all responding parties were included in the programme architecture, which was finalised in June 2004, for approval in July by the governing bodies of the AFD and French GEF. This programme was given the CRISP acronym from
September 2004 onwards and officially launched by the Minister of the Environment and Sustainable Development, M. Serge Lepeltier, at the annual SPREP meeting and Meeting of Ministers of the Environment which was held in Papeete in the same month.
