IFAD's Coastal Community Development Project (CCDP) in Indonesia, a US$43.2 million project, had the overall goal of reducing poverty through enhanced, sustainable and replicable economic growth among the active poor in coastal and small island communities. This was to be achieved through investments in fishery, aquaculture, processing and marketing, in addition to provision of related support structures. To this end, the project aimed at addressing constraints on small-scale fishery communities by increasing fish catch, fish productivity and income through improvements in fishing gears (technology) used and fishing practices as well as increasing household participation in high-potential marine and aquaculture value chains. CCDP also aimed at rehabilitating coastal and natural resources to ensure sustainability of the environment, fish stock and economic livelihoods. The project was implemented in 181 villages within 12 districts throughout eastern Indonesia.
The CCDP was selected for rigorous ex-post impact assessment (IA) to analyze the effects of CCDP on a number of impact and outcome indicators, including economic mobility, food security and nutrition, resilience, women's empowerment and natural resources rehabilitation.
