To propose an engagement planning with the stakeholders through series of webinar and sharing session with collaboration between other higher learning institution focusing on the and theme of Coastal, Marine and Delta.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The effectiveness of the MARE Marine Coastal and Delta Sustainability for Southeast Asia Grant not only measured via the amount of project conducted but also the involvement and the response from the respective stakeholder as a tool to counter measure the effectiveness of the program. The engagement and feedback from the stakeholder will be one of the critical aspects under the MARE Marine Coastal and Delta Sustainability for Southeast Asia Grant.
To get the feedback, a series of webinar and sharing session were initially planned and set between four (4) higher learning institutions that share the same interest and aspiration with the MARE Marine Coastal and Delta Sustainability for Southeast Asia Grant program. The institution involves include Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM, Kuantan) and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM, Perlis). Each institution will organize the event in turn. The speakers will be selected among the piers and the session will be open with free access to all.
