No results found.Small-scale fisheries make an important global contribution such as providing food and households’ cash income. However, they are still underdeveloped, vulnerable, and poor. The lack of collaborative management, the vulnerability of small fisheries, the loss of income because of poor post-catch treatment, the lack of alternative livelihood, and the lack of access to finance are the most important small fisheries’ problems. Such problems will be addressed by the four year Regional Fisheries Livel ihood Programme (RFLP) for South and Southeast Asia which is operating in Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Langka, Timor-Leste, and Viet Nam. In Indonesia, RFLP has activities in East Nusa Tenggara and specifically in 4 of its 20 regencies namely Kupang, Kota Kupang, Rote Ndao, and Alor. The paper describes two component may affect small fishers livelihood, i.e. national regulation as well as national and local fisheries state conditions. The first component is containing law and regulation on responsible fisheries, water-resources and habitat, commercial fisheries, spatial planning, collaborative management, micro finance, safety of life on the sea, and disaster mitigation. The second component is containing resource mismatch, shifting to aquaculture, mismatch between administrative and fishing ground boundary, conflict between utilization and conservation, unequal profit margin and benefit inequity, bounded rationality, and declining aquatic resources. Based on two components ab ove and project aims, the paper recommends six forthcoming actions regarding fisheries co-management mechanisms, measures to improve safety at sea and reduce vulnerability, measures for improved quality of fishery products and market chains, diversified income opportunities for fisher families, facilitated access to micro-finance services, and promoting sharing knowledge. -
BookletWhy the gender transformative approach is critical to achieving more equitable and resilient small-scale fisheries in sub-Saharan Africa 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This issue brief aims to highlight the benefits of adopting the gender transformative approach (GTA) in small-scale fisheries (SSF) projects and initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa. It serves as an introduction for various stakeholders wishing to gain an initial understanding of how to embed the GTA in fisheries programming. In sub-Saharan Africa, the SSF sector provides nutritious food for local, national, and international markets and underpins local economies in local communities. The SSF sector also provides income and livelihood support to millions, accounting for over 7.5 million men and 2.3 million women. Women are key players in the sector, however, they face major challenges in accessing natural and financial resources, capacity-building, and decision-making arenas at various levels, undermining their access to lucrative business opportunities. The GTA encourages SSF projects, programmes and interventions to foster a different mindset by targeting the root causes of gender inequality and assessing gender dynamics and power relations that perpetuate imbalances such as access to fisheries resources, food security and nutrition, capacity development, decision-making and access to finances and mobility. The gender transformative approach can be put into practice through a suite of different gender transformative methodologies. These include participatory approaches, methods and tools that encourage critical reflection and examination among women and men of gender roles and norms and power dynamics. Adopting the gender transformative approach ultimately contributes to advancing FAO’s commitment towards better production, better nutrition, better environment, and a better life.
