The ASC have developed an Improver Programme (IP) comprising a set of procedures and tools to ensure that ASC standards or best practice improvements are consistently and effectively implemented. The IP model encourages uptake by groups of farmers and provides processes for group engagement in the improvement project.

This document summarises collaborative efforts from ASC and SFP to develop a joint monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for the Improver Programme.

The framework builds upon the aligned data mapping exercise conducted by the Integration of Seafood Certification and Jurisdictional Assurance Models project supported by the ISEAL Innovations Fund and Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
