INTEGRE project is working towards the following objectives :
- Assisting with sustainable economic development, particularly in tourism
- Helping control man-made threats.
- Boosting the participatory management process and involving local stakeholders more effectively
- Contributing to sustainable integrated natural and cultural resource management
The balance of the activities is the following one :
- PF - C2BIO : "Organic Farming Pilot Farm Network" Project

"Thanks to the INTEGRE project, organic farming has emerged in French Polynesia" (P. Couraud, Director of Agriculture).
From an initial financing of about twenty million F.CFP provided by the INTEGRE project, this activity succeeded in generating nearly 80M of public funds to reach a total amount of a hundred million peaceful francs. This success is based on the financial commitment of the project partners, the Direction de l'Agriculture and the Etablissement Public d'Enseignement, de Formation et de Promotions Agricoles d'Opunohu (EPEFPA). Their investments made it possible to supply the Opunohu pilot farms with equipment and to provide a specialised engineer who conducted all the experiments and training. Beyond financial investment, the dynamics created are also human. The organisation of regional workshops, in particular the one held in Opunohu, has enabled a collective dynamic to emerge between farmers, particularly in Raiatea where an association of organic farmers, the SPG BioRaiatea, was formed following the Opunohu workshops and is now a real driving force for the development of organic farming in the territory.
However, difficulties remain regarding the supply of organic seeds, the development of green manures or the economic viability of organic farms. The project has also shown that training attracts few farmers and that the emphasis should be on personalised technical support. Development will continue, the Directorate of Agriculture has recruited the technician trained on the Opunohu pilot farm and will provide a senior technician who will continue experiments on the farm high school. The research laboratory of the Direction de l'Agriculture will also conduct experiments on organic to fuel the dynamics. Finally, the financing of the 11th Regional EDF will make it possible to reinforce the mechanism.

- PF - C2Tr : Integrating integrated coastal zone management into public policies

At first sight, the study in support of the establishment of a large managed marine area had little to do with the theme of the INTEGRE project, which focused on coastal areas. However, the results highlight the need to link a pelagic marine protected area with locally managed coastal management tools developed, among others, by the INTEGRE project. This work also makes it possible to design integrated management beyond coastal zones and incorporates the main principles that guide the action of the INTEGRE project, namely intersectoral integration, that of the different levels of public administration and the participation of stakeholders.
Integrated coastal zone management is still not very appropriate by the Polynesian administration. 4 years of project allowed to show the effectiveness of the participatory dimension of this management on concrete examples in fisheries management or sustainable tourism. However, it has not been possible to formalise integrated coastal zone management plans from a legal point of view. The intersectoral dimension remains the most difficult to implement because silo working practices remain deeply rooted in the administrative culture.
The project nevertheless succeeded in mobilising several administrations on common projects and in creating project governance bodies that brought different sectors around the same table and to exchange and thus plant the seeds of a future more integrated management.
