    Coastal fisheries in West Africa are essential for providing food and employment, supporting the livelihoods of men and women and generating income. The overall objective of the project “Delivering sustainable environmental, social and economic benefits in West Africa through good governance, correct incentives and innovation” is to strengthen governance, management and value chains through the implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries, relevant international tools and innovative governance partnerships in Cabo Verde, Ivory Coast and Senegal. Overall, the evaluation rated the project as “relatively satisfactory". The evaluation recommended certain improvements, particularly concerning the recruitment strategy and organization of personnel, co-financing, the results framework and monitoring of activities.

    Concerns about degradation of forests and other natural resources, growing awareness about potentially adverse climate changes, and a greater consciousness worldwide about the need for protection of the earth’s environment have led to increased attention on agricultural and animal husbandry practices. These concerns are a natural and predictable reaction as human population continues to increase at unparalleled numbers each year. For example, in 1950 there were just 2.5 billion people in the wor ld. Forty years later, in 1990, this planet had 5 billion. By 2025 human population is expected to reach 8.5 billion people. In just seventy-five years-the life span of an average person in an economically developed country-population will have increased more than it did in all the previous history of the world. Little wonder that agricultural scientists as well as non-agriculturalists feel the time has come to take bold action to save our remaining forest habitat, prevent and even reverse land degradation, and develop a plan which will assure future generations of sustainable agricultural practices. This report focuses on worldwide livestock grazing and mixed farming systems in Temperate and Humid-Subhumid Tropic and Subtropic Agroecological Zones. Excluded are all lands of Africa, all Tropical Highlands, and Arid and Semiarid Tropics and Subtropics. The scope of this focus is massive as it includes 60 percent of the world’s people, 50 percent of the pasture land, 65 percent of t he arable land, 59 percent of the world’s cattle, 44 percent of the sheep and goats, as well as similar proportions of other forage-consuming animals.
