Ocean Experts - Organization

While its benefits are clear, integrated coastal management (ICM) can be a complex and time-consuming endeavor, requiring sufficient expertise and resources. By definition, no single organization, agency or institution can achieve success without the support and collaboration of other stakeholders. This includes experts with knowledge, experience and funding focus on specific aspects of coastal governance, including science, policy, management practice and finance, among others. Local governments and others can benefit immensely from utilizing NGOs, consultants, research organizations, development programs and others to support and accelerate their ICM programs.

This e-Directory includes a catalogue of organizations that have been identified as offering expertise, services and/or funding that could help support ICM programs in the region. Inclusion in the catalogue does not imply endorsement of an organization.

If you are an organization with ICM expertise or funding mandate—including pollution reduction and waste management; food security and livelihood management; water use and supply management; habitat protection, restoration and management; and natural and man-made hazard prevention and management—and you would like to be discovered by programs in East Asia, you may submit your information for consideration for inclusion in e-Directory.

  • In 2001, Calvert Foundation launched a prototype of a new type of donor advised fund (DAF). Known as the Giving Fund, this DAF provided an enhancement to traditional donor advised funds in the form of socially responsible and impact investment options—enabling philanthropists to both “give and invest for the greater good.” In 2010, Calvert Foundation created ImpactAssets to assume responsibility for the Giving Fund and transform it into something much bigger. In the years since, the ImpactAssets staff has multiplied, adding new functions including an impact investing field building initiative and the development of new impact investment products designed to democratize access to impact investing (currently in progress). ImpactAssets is an independent 501(c)3 organization, but remains closely connected to Calvert Foundation. Board members designated by Calvert Foundation hold a minority position on ImpactAssets’ Board of Directors and Community Investment Partners, a subsidiary of Calvert Foundation, supplies administrative services to the firm.

  • The ICCTF is part of the Goverment of Indonesia's (GOI) commitment to enhance climate resilience, improve development coordination and prepare future responses to climate change threats. The two main objectives of the ICCTF are to achieve Indonesia’s goals of a low-carbon economy and to enable the GOI to increase the effectiveness and impact of implemented projects in addressing climate change issues.

    In the first phase, the ICCTF will be designated as an “Innovation Fund”, which involves grant funding from development partners and other contributors to be used for activities that provide indirect economic and social benefits and will not provide any direct financial return to participants involving government ministries/institutions as proponents, and will subsequently expand to local governments, and later NGOs and universities.

    At a later stage, the ICCTF may establish a “Transformation Fund” mechanism to leveral other funding sources, such as public-private partnerships, loans, and international capital markets that harness private-sector finance.
