    Kiribati, a small island country in the Central Pacific Ocean, has one of the world’s largest exclusive economic zones (EEZs), with abundant marine resources and tuna stock within its water. The artisanal tuna catch plays an important role in food security. An estimated 4 000 tonnes of tuna were caught annually by artisanal fishers, equating to annual tuna supply of around 33 kg per capita. Subsistence fishing is critical, with 47 percent of 20 000 households directly engaged in fishing activities; of these, 69 percent fish solely for home consumption. Fish consumption is estimated to exceed 70 kg per capita, one of the highest rates globally, being the primary protein source of protein in local diets. FAO SVC4SIDS project focuses on enhancing the domestic tuna value chain in the capital, South Tarawa, and two outer islands, Makin and Nikuanu, with further activities extending to North Tarawa. In collaboration with national stakeholders, the project has developed a comprehensive 10-year strategy. This aims at enhancing local capacity through sustainable infrastructure development, market-oriented vocational training, improved aquatic food safety and private sector development. While prioritised activities are being implemented, broader adoption and scaling of interventions requires collaboration and additional support. The publication seeks to garner support from development and donor partners.
