No results found.The North Rupununi District Development Board (NRDDB) started piloting an inland Fisheries Management Plan in Guyana in 2018. This new programme is a collaboration with local communities and the Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Fisheries. It receives support from the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme. The plan covers 386 km of the Essequibo, Rupununi and Rewa rivers. Implementation started in 2019 with raising awareness of fisheries guidelines through village meetings and river patrols. A comprehensive monitoring system was then put in place to assess fishing activities and the importance of fish for the communities that depend on this resource. The activities in Guyana are part of the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, an initiative of the Organization of African, Caribbean, and the Pacific States, which is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment and the French Development Agency. The SWM Programme mobilizes an international group of partner organizations with experience and expertise in wildlife conservation, food security, and policy development. It is implemented through a consortium partnership, which includes the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD). -

No results found.The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in Guyana is encouraging coordinated community-driven initiatives that support food security and traditional livelihoods. These will contribute to maintaining healthy fish and terrestrial wildlife populations. It is being implemented by the Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission in coordination with CIFOR. The SWM Programme is the first international initiative to tackle the wild meat challenge by addressing both wildlife conservation and food security. Between 2018 and 2024, the SWM Programme implements field projects across 3 continents. The aim is to improve how wildlife hunting is regulated; increase the supply of sustainably produced meat products and farmed fish; strengthen the management capacities of indigenous and rural communities; reduce demand for wild meat, particularly in towns and cities. The SWM Programme is an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States initiative, which is being funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Global Environment Facility. The SWM Programme is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of partners which includes FAO, the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
