Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetStepping up resilient and sustainable small-scale fisheries and aquaculture: Policy considerations to sustain the achievements from the IYAFA 2022 celebration in the Western Central Atlantic 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The theme for the IYAFA celebration in WECAFC was ‘Resilience and Recovery,’ with a specific focus on gender and youth. The selection of Resilience and Recovery was significant for this region as it took place during the world’s recovery from the global COVID-19 pandemic. Small-scale fishers and fish farmers across the region were severely affected by the pandemic, impacting their social and economic well-being. Therefore, the chosen themes reflected a regional effort to support the recovery of small- scale fishers and fish farmers by leveraging their collective efforts. The inclusion of gender and youth as cross-cutting themes also recognized the vital roles these groups play in ensuring the sustainability of the region’s fisheries. These main themes were further supported by three subthemes: social resilience, innovation, and intersectoral linkages.
