As of April 2009 the schools in Deer, Dibalal and Tolobi have completed new cabinets for the school books. The community has also purchased the back-up batteries for the solar-chill refrigerators. One refrigerator recently needed to be serviced in Sorong and is ready to be carried back to Kofiau. In December 2008 the Raja Ampat Government & Parliament passed a law to establish a Raja Ampat MPA Network including Kofiau, which will provide a more solid legal basis for Kofiau as a Marine Potected Area. Additionally, in order to better protect their natural resources, the three villages of Kofiau are now in the process of developing their Village Regulation to locally manage and regulate the utilization of their marine and terrestrial resources.

In late 2007, the Kofiau Marine Protected Area was officially endorsed. As of November 2008 all equipment was delivered and installed. The community is planning to purchase back-up batteries for the refrigerators and cabinets for the school books in 2009.

As of March 2008, one refrigerator had been delivered, but the other two orders were delayed in lieu of purchasing school books first. The books were delivered in March 2008. The final stage of the project includes purchase and installation of the last two solar chills and medical supplies.
