designed to achieve policy changes and identify sustainable funding to support our conservation commitments, climate change international goals and secure natural resources for generations to come through sound management.” PM John Briceño Apart from ensuring that Government of Belize meets all conservation commitments outlined in the Blue Loan and Conservation Funding Agreements, the Blue Bond and Finance Permanence Unit (BBFP) alongside the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is tasked with ensuring the successful design and development of an innovative new financing model: Project Finance for Permanence (PfP). Belize’s PfP will focus on the protection, conservation, and sustainable use of Belize’s coastal and marine ecosystems; the first coastal and marine PfP globally. The PfP is an approach or single initiative that secures important policy changes, and all funding necessary to meet specific conservation goals of a program over a defined long-term timeframe, with the aim of achieving the ecological, social, political, organizational, and financial sustainability of that program. Currently, Belize is in the design phase of its PfP, which includes defining the conservation goals, funding targets and other key components through an all-inclusive approach. Belize’s PfP will stand to leverage the success of the country’s historic Blue Bond by enhancing the protection of our coastal and marine resources for the well-being of all Belizeans. It also is worth noting that PFP is part of the Blue Bond Unit which is itself is under the Office of the Prime Minister.

shrimp. Read More: Belize was fooled monetarily decades ago and now, it is entrapped entirely On the other hand, the 16 known shrimp farms in Belize have now been reduced to 7. Additionally, Belize lacks the necessary infrastructure to resume the fishing of these shrimps. Clearly, it will be a challenge for Belize ahead to address all these issues and revive the industry. However, if the nation manages to pull its revamping plans off, it will surely cure Belmopan’s ailing economy.
