ProjectFiscal policy and the artisanal fisheries sector in Ghana and Senegal 1996
Also available in:
Deyelopment strategy during the 1960 and i 970s was based on the philosophy that developing countries lacked improved technology and capital for speeding up their development.' Industrialization was promoted in order to capitalize on the abundant fish resources. However, the anticipated expansion of the economy did not happen and the development approach shifted towards an integrated rural strategy where emphasis is put on the community as a whole to upgrade incomes and the quality of life thr ough technical assistance and the active participation of fisherfolk and the community. In this context, emphasis was initially placed on the Community Fishery Centre (CFC) concept as a means of promoting artisanal fishery development. But it became apparent that the presence of a complex of facilities and seivices tailored to meet local needs was no guarantee that the structures/facilities would be used or that development would occur. The active participation of fisherfolk and the mobilisa tion of local and community resources was imperative in order to assure sustainability of initiatives undertaken by development projects and/or the community. -
Book (series)Participation in artisanal fisheries management for improved livelihoods in West Africa. A synthesis of interviews and cases from Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea and Ghana.
A synthesis of interviews and cases from Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea and Ghana
2002Also available in:
The study, based on ten case studies in four West African countries, aims to disseminate lessons learnt on fisher participation in fisheries management and ways of supporting livelihoods through responsible fisheries management. It is intended for government staff, NGO’s and other agencies working on these issues in developing countries. The analysis focuses on: the role of artisanal fishers and government; issues and constraints; and the effect of management on livelihoods. Fishers are in volved in local management measures, which coexist with national measures by fisheries administrations. Fisheries management aims to improve fishers’ livelihoods, but in the short term the more powerful groups benefit, while poorer groups’ livelihoods are threatened. To arrive at a more livelihoods-centred fisheries management, all the phases in management need to be addressed and clearly linked to local-level livelihoods and management issues. There should be a serious commitment to partic ipation issues by all stakeholders in fisheries management.
