AIP workplan is available from the AIP Directory

• Three universities recently joined the AIP
• The AIP continues to develop and implement an AIP work plan to drive further improvements based on the results of the ASIC assessment and views the AIP model as a means to improve the production of clusters of farms.
• The AIP has developed and launched field schools to support farmer meetings focussed on priority cultivation issues.
• The AIP is supporting the inclusion of women from farming families in developing standards and improving community benefits. This included organizing climate adaptation seminars.
• The AIP is incorporating information issued by the climate agency Badan Meteologi, Klimatologi, and Geofisika (BMKG) to adapt production in response to climate change.
• The AIP is turning its attention to improving hatchery management and production.

• Revision of farmers’ contracts
• Stakeholder engagement
• Addressing improvement recommendations from the ASIC verification

Achievements

• The contents of the Ecoshrimp standard on farming giant tiger prawn have been agreed upon with the processor PT Atina. This standard is based on the ASIC protocol.
• The Ecoshrimp standard contains multiple clauses on farm-level management, including health management, water quality, labor, and social issues, siting, and managing habitat impacts (including mangrove restoration).
• Farms will also be required to adhere to the ASIC Shrimp Protocol which includes criteria on coordinated disease management and control*.
• *The ASIC Shrimp Protocol under the Shrimp Health Section requires farmers to coordinate and inform neighboring farms if a disease is observed and to develop relevant management actions.

• Completion of the internal assessment using the ASIC Traqtion system App;
• Verification of farms by ASIC (required sample);
• Third-party assessment (Ecocert) for buyer requirement;
• Pilot assessment for ASIC Leader; and,
• Buyer partner engagement – site visit.
• More participation of women in project activities

Current AIP activities and timeframes are included in the AIP workplan.

Completed activities include:

• Conducted stakeholder engagement to identify hatcheries to participate in the program.
• Conducted internal and ASIC assessments of farms and produced improvement recommendations.
• Developed improvement recommendations for verified farms.
• Conducted training on the ASIC protocol and its social standards.
• Identified the conservation status of predator species that exist in the shrimp farming area via the IUCN list.
• Engaged with policymakers in the development of a roadmap for shrimp farming.

Following the publication of the Farmer Guidebook on Management Techniques – on farming of giant tiger prawn (in Bahasa) Budidaya Udang Windu Tradisional (Extensive) 

Two hatcheries have received ASIC certification

All farms under the AIP have received ASIC certification

This meant the AIP advanced to stage 4 – improvements in aquaculture management
