Synopsis (short abstract) These guidelines are meant as a tool for project planners and implementers, in particular for experts involved in the identification and formulation of rural development projects. They are an attempt to provide a "manual" from which relevant pragmatic indications can be taken to render forthcoming and existing conventional projects (more) participatory by orienting them to the largest possible extend towards the rural poor and by including provisions for the formation of self-run beneficiary gro ups.

    "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.
