Since we launched our programs in Indonesia in 2015, demand continues to grow for CSF’s unique approach to training and capacity building. In response, we are working to build a pool of Indonesian instructors to help us meet the demand for more training on the national, subnational, and local levels, to ultimately help stakeholders use economics to effectively and sustainably manage marine resources.

The Training of Trainers (ToT) program brings together economists and natural resource management experts from across Indonesia and teaches them CSF’s unique capacity-building strategies to empower them to train others in environmental economics. This course is specifically designed to deepen participants' understanding of their chosen subject matter, such as microeconomics, fisheries economics, cost-benefit analysis, environmental valuation, policy design, and course development, to help them create and teach an effective course in the future.

We received applications for the ToT from experts at universities, NGOs, private institutions, and the government, all of whom work within the field of marine economics. We selected 30 participants best suited to benefit from the training and whose qualifications were compatible with the qualities we look for in CSF instructors.
