The main components include: (a) development of fisheries facilities at Bolimog, Habo, Bossaso, and Candala; (b) a pilot/exploratory test program of purse seine vessels, and operation of a support vessel; and (c) assistance to the management of the North East Coast Fisheries Company, design of an institutional training program for the fisheries sector, and studies for a future project involving harbor and fisheries facilities.
