At the regional level, partnerships among government agencies arise from the regional meetings and other mechanism developed and facilitated by PEMSEA. One of these management mechanisms under PEMSEA's first and second phase was the Programme Steering Committee (PSC) Meetings, wherein the participating governments of PEMSEA, along with the program management and PEMSEA's supporting agencies (i.e., the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), met every 18 months to review and monitor the status of activities undertaken and oversee the regional programme in terms of its broad strategic goals. These reports cover the period 1994-2006.
