The Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) programme applies a gender, social inclusion lens and human rights-based approach across all of its programming. In response to SDG 10, PEUMP’s implementing partners are trained to act sensitively, identify opportunities to tackle poverty reduction, ensure an inclusive and fair share of benefits that leave no one behind, while supporting countries on the ground to strengthen the social dimension of their work.
