Technical bookIncreasing Fisherfolk Incomes Through Group Formation and Enterprise Development in Indonesia - BOBP/REP/60 1993
Also available in:
No results found.This report describes the process, achievements and learnings of a subproject which set out to identify and demonstrate ways to improve the earnings and socioeconomic status of fisherfolk in coastal communities through group formation and microenterprise development. The project emphasised the need for group action and better management to make the enterprises successful. The subproject was initiated late in 1987 and terminated in July 1992. It was implemented in three fisherfolk communitie s (Pulau Kampai, Pangkalan Siata and Pulau Sembilan) in Langkat District, of North Sumatera Province, Sumatera, Indonesia. The subproject initially set out to help establish institution-based credit programmes for fisherfolk, but changed direction when participatory appraisals showed there was really no need for credit supply and the aim of income-generation could be better met through strengthening the creditreceiving mechanism and enabling better and more effective management of enterprises. T he subproject mobilized six fisherfolk groups, assisted in promoting savings, helped the groups to set up enterprises, provided credit through revolving funds and helped the groups to build their managerial skills. -

Also available in:
No results found.This working paper describes the attempt made to conduct an integrated study of the biological, economic and sociological aspects of the fisheries and fisherfolk that use one of the most traditional and popular fishing craft of the east coast of India kattumaram. The benefits of the results from such an approach are also presented in this report. The paper discusses the significance of using one or more types of fishing gear with such a traditional craft, correlation between income from fishin g and income from other sources and consequent diversity in income categories, relative performance by other types of craft, interactive fishing problems, exploitation of resources, underutilized resources, motorization of traditional craft, marketing practices and improvements and opportunities for additional/alternative income generation. Periodic exchanges of information between the study-group and fisherfolk, in the course of this study, opened the doors to communication with fisherfolk on i ssues concerning resources and management and culminated in the preparation of a series of extension material in this field. This project was carried out in cooperation with the Department of Fisheries, Andhra Pradesh State, India, and was sponsored by a Bayof Bengal Programme (BOBP) project, ‘Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal’ (GCP/RAS/118/MUL). The post-harvest technological investigations were conducted under the direction and supervision of Mr. David Walker, Adviser , ODA. The socio-economic investigations were conducted by Ms. Christina Lundquist, Socio-economist (APO) of the Bay of Bengal Programme. And Messrs P.R. Prathap Kumar and I.
