About CTI-CFF Capacity Building
The platform was developed under Pillar 1 of the CTI-CFF Capacity Building Roadmap 2024–2027, a strategic plan to strengthen skills and institutions for effective marine ecosystem management that benefits nature and communities in the Coral Triangle.
Designed for accessibility, the platform includes content in Coral Triangle languages (including Bahasa Indonesia, Malay, Tetun, and Filipino) and functions well even in areas with limited bandwidth.
The platform serves as an essential tool for practitioners, government staff, and students in the Coral Triangle.

Regional Plan of Action
(RPOA 2.0)
The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) guides regional marine and coastal management through its Regional Plan of Action 2.0 (RPOA 2.0), the shared strategy for 2021–2030. RPoA 2.0 outlines the capacity and competency improvements needed to achieve two overarching goals:
Enabling coastal communities and protecting ecosystems through increased regional collaboration.
Supporting resilient communities and ecosystems with improved food security, fisheries and livelihoods.
These goals are organized into three objectives—improved ecosystem health and fisheries; improved resilience and socioeconomic conditions; and good governance, effective leadership, and partnerships—under which seven specific targets are defined.
To help countries meet these targets, CTI-CFF and partners developed the Capacity Building Roadmap (2024–2027), which identifies priority actions to scale and accelerate skills development across the region.
Our Goal
The CTI-CFF Capacity Building Repository is intended to inspire stronger, more connected marine and coastal management across the Coral Triangle by bringing essential knowledge into one accessible space. It aims to spark learning and collaboration by offering region-focused best practices, case studies, and lessons learned that help practitioners grow their skills and confidence.
The Repository also seeks to strengthen a sense of shared purpose by linking users with training providers, funding opportunities, and active learning networks. At its core, the platform celebrates Coral Triangle expertise-local stories, field-based examples, and community knowledge that reflect the region's diversity and ingenuity. By weaving these resources together, the Repository aims to support the competencies needed to protect ecosystems, improve livelihoods, and advance collective action across the six Coral Triangle countries.
