    Since 2006, APFIC has adopted a strategic planning approach to improve the effectiveness and focus of its work in support of its members. The initial plan was developed in part as a response to reviews of the performance of regional fisheries bodies in general but also in recognition of the changing context within which APFIC operated. In 2003, a review of the role of APFIC as a Regional Consultative Forum was carried out1 which resulted in the recommendation for it to adopt its current approach.
