      • MPA PROs must conduct their own self-assessment of their competencies in relation to their respective Levels (L1, L2 or L3) and submit the results to the Secretariat. Guidance on how much detail is required will be sent to the MPA PRO. The self-assessment is to encourage MPA PROs to continually self-assess their skills and areas for development.<\/li>
