Ocean Country Partnership Programme
The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is a UK Government-led programme delivered under the Blue Planet Fund.
Through this Defra-funded Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme, Cefas, in partnership with JNCC and MMO provides technical assistance to support countries to tackle marine pollution, support sustainable seafood practices and strengthen marine biodiversity management.
As the programme draws to a close in March 2026, we are highlighting its impact and ensuring that local partners are well placed to continue this work and build on the progress made.
Our final activities include completing technical assistance, developing guidance and roadmaps, delivering training, and supporting local institutions. Through these efforts, we aim to ensure that the knowledge, evidence, and capacity built through OCPP continue to benefit partners and communities beyond the programme’s conclusion.
We thank all our partners and teams for their commitment and collaboration in making OCPP a success.
