Also available in:
No results found."Participatory landing site development for artisanal fisheries” provides guidance on landing site development planning. This manual helps those working at artisanal fisheries landing sites to identify, collect and analyse information in a participatory way, and consequently to create and seek support for a development plan. It goes beyond simple data collection to explain how to write a project proposal and gives pointers on how to find funding, as well as technical and other support. In additi on to well-known participatory methods of data collection and analysis, the manual includes transects in the fisheries production chain. This unique tool was adapted from the agricultural transect walk. The material is based on a number of cases in West Africa but the principles are applicable worldwide. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Bay of Bengal Fisheries Information System (BOBFINS) is a data base management system for Apple IIe, designed for compilation and analysis of fisheries statistics. It is anticipated that this system will improve the quality and increase the quantum of fisheries information that can be produced by the countries around the Bay of Bengal, facilitate exchange of fisheries data and information among the participating countries and also enhance the possibilities of carrying out stock assessments at national and regional levels. This system has been prepared by the Marine Fishery Resources Management Project (RAS/81/051) of the Bay of Bengal Programme. This project is funded by UNDP and executed by FAO. The project has already provided an Apple Iie micro computer to each of the participating countries and a basic training course on its usage, for biologists from these countries. -
Book (stand-alone)Improving nutrition programmes: an assessment tool for action - Users' Training Manual 2006
Also available in:
FAO has developed a methodology that allows countries to carry out in-depth assessments of their community-based food and nutrition programmes. This was done by carrying out an analysis of a number of successful programmes in developing countries, for the purpose of identifying and understanding best practices which contribute to improving the impact and sustainability of such programmes. Based on the lessons learned from them, a technical guide entitled Improving Nutrition Programme s: an Assessment Tool for Action (AT) was developed and published by FAO. The University of the Western Cape’s School of Public Health (UWC) has collaborated closely with FAO throughout this process. At a users’ workshop held in Cape Town, participants agreed that pilot testings of the AT should be carried out as a first step in its dissemination. It was also felt that a users’ training manual would be very helpful for future users. This training manual has thus been develope d with the purpose of enhancing the capacity of the members of assessment teams to conduct nutrition programme assessments, founded on a common understanding of concepts which underpin effective and sustainable community-based nutrition programmes. The skills developed through training and the experience gained from undertaking assessments will facilitate good implementation of programmes and projects to improve nutrition. Besides nutrition planners, other people with planning and pr ogrammatic responsibility who are concerned about poverty alleviation and overall development can, and should, take part in a programme’s assessment. A thorough examination and analysis of the data thus obtained can then be followed by the elaboration of an action plan for improving the impact and the sustainability of community-based nutrition programmes.
