Coastal Fisheries Initiative - Promoting sustainable fisheries in coastal areas
2023This fact-sheet aims to promote the dynamism of women processors of fishery products in West Africa with regards to organization, processing, commercialization and diversification aspects. It showcases the work carried ou by women in terms of production of dried and salted grouper in Maio pilot site (Cabo Verde), production and commercialization of smoked tuna in FFT stove in Locodjro (Côte d'Ivoire) and production and commercialization of dried shrimps and molluscs in Saloum’s islands, Niodior (Senegal). The purpose is to: i) improve the efficiency of the value chain in fishing communities by sharing forms of organizational structures, good processing, and commercialization practices of fishery products by women; and ii) raise awareness to wider audience of fisheries stakeholders so they know more options for product improvement based on CFI experience. -
General interest bookCo-management of fisheries and mangroves as a pathway to the ecosystem approach to fisheries
Good practices and lessons learned from the Coastal Fisheries Initiative
2024Also available in:
No results found.The CFI programme - a global partnership between FAO, UNDP, UNEP, Conservation International, the World Bank and the WWF - has developed three legacy Global Knowledge Products (GKPs) to consolidate experience and lessons learned and to make its successful approaches and tangible impacts sustainable beyond the end of its five-year cycle. This e-book is the first of the series. Within its overall objective of demonstrating holistic, ecosystem-based management and improved governance of small-scale coastal fisheries, the CFI has learned that co-management schemes that empower local communities – women as well as men - to act as stewards of their own resources can result in the sustainable use of fragile habitats such as mangrove forests in ways that can guarantee thriving livelihoods and conservation at the same time. This e-book describes the methodologies and results achieved by the CFI in Indonesia, Latin America (Ecuador, Peru) and West Africa (Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal), which can be adapted to local contexts anywhere in the world. It is aimed at national and international policymakers, practitioners and development agencies and is enriched with testimonies from beneficiaries across these geographies. -
Evaluation reportEvaluation of the project "Creating an enabling environment for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries"
Project code: GCP/GLO/965/SWE
2023Also available in:
No results found.It was found that the SIDA-SSF project was robustly designed, relevant and responsive to needs and emerging opportunities to further the implementation of the SSF Guidelines. Most notable achievements include greater awareness of the SSF Guidelines at all levels, the preparation of National Plans of Action for SSF (NPOA-SSF) in selected countries, the operationalization of the Advisory and Regional Advisory Groups under the SSF Global Strategic Framework (SSF-GSF), the Illuminating Hidden Harvests (IHH) study and the celebration of the International Year for Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022. The elaboration of a monitoring system for the implementation of the SSF Guidelines has progressed. The project has influence in building the capacity of SSF organizations and actors to represent the interests of small-scale fishers and fishworkers at national level and in international fora. Partnerships are a cornerstone of project implementation and enabling to move the SSF agenda forward.Recommendations include actions to be taken by the SIDA-SSF project Core Team and FAO. They emphasize approaches and priorities, thematic areas, collaborations and partnerships, social inclusion and targeting, project administration and oversight, learning and knowledge sharing, and finally the place of SSF in “blue” narratives and initiatives as areas to build on the project results and achieve sustainability and long-term impact.
