A two-year, multidonor project used three primary strategies to make rapid, but sustainable, progress toward ICM. These included using interagency government teams for ICM planning, adopting an internationally recognized framework for ICM as a project "road map," and explicitly incorporating capacity-building strategies into all aspects of the project. Within two years, integrated ICM action strategies, prepared through participatory processes, were being implemented at both sites, and both teams were working to expand the scale and scope of ICM in their nation. More importantly, the project helped create committed, capable, interagency groups that continue to work together to address urgent ICM issues.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightEcosystem managementEcosystemMarine aquacultureAquatic ecosystemsSustainable developmentEnvironmental impactsInstitutional capacity buildingConservationSustainabilityNatural resource managementAquacultureCapacity buildingCoastal managementEast africaIcm (integrated coastal management)PolicyKenyaZanzibarEcosystem Governance WatershedAbstractCopyright 2000 by Taylor & Francis Grouphttps://doi.org/10.1080/089207500263666
