BookletThe contribution of small-scale fisheries to healthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This Small-scale Fisheries Brief is tailored to provide insight into the contribution of small-scale fisheries to healthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania. Small-scale fisheries are the largest source of fish supply (96%) in the country and will continue to be so for decades to come. Fish from small-scale fisheries are one of the most affordable nutritious, affordable and accessible food sources. Over 34.8 million people are nourished from fish supplied from small-scale fisheries in the United Republic of Tanzania, contributing to the fight against malnutrition and hunger. In addition, small-scale fisheries provide immense economic benefits, particularly in rural environments. At least 4.5 million people depend at least partially on small-scale fisheries livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania, with one in four people employed being women. The sector has an essential role in transforming the United Republic of Tanzania’s future food system and securing the Sustainable Development Goals by contributing to healthy and sustainable diets, equitable livelihoods and leaving no one behind in the fight against hunger and poverty. However, small-scale fisheries face multiple threats and challenges, such as shocks (due for example to climate change or COVID-19), poor governance and post-harvest waste and loss which undermine the potential benefits to society. Strengthening the commitment and implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) can help safeguard and enhance small-scale fisheries’ contributions to sustainable development and food systems in the United Republic of Tanzania. Strategies are needed to reduce fish waste and loss and the inequalities across value-chains, as well as to promote equitable trade, governance and utilization of fish as food. -
BookletThe contribution of women in small-scale fisheries to healthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The gender brief is tailored to provide insight into the contributions of women in small-scale fisheries to healthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania. Approximately 220 000 women in the United Republic of Tanzania depend on small-scale fisheries for their livelihoods, mostly in the post-harvest sector. Pervasive gender norms limit women’s opportunities and decision-making power at household and community levels, as they face many gender-based constraints in fisheries value chains and they are more vulnerable to intersecting factors such as poverty and gender-based violence. Targeted actions should be undertaken to address gender inequalities and support women’s empowerment in the Tanzanian fisheries sector, including developing gender-responsive policies to address climate change and gender-based violence, collecting and sharing standardized gender data, and supporting women’s participation in fisheries associations and governance processes by reducing barriers related to gender norms. -
Book (stand-alone)United Republic of Tanzania – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities – November 2020
2022Also available in:
No results found.In response to a request from Members, FAO developed the surveillance evaluation tool (SET) in 2017 to assess animal disease surveillance systems and provide country-specific recommendations for improvement. SET has been largely used in Africa under funding by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to guide capacity-building activities related to animal disease surveillance. Following its successful implementation in project countries, the tool was made available to other countries and region under specific funding. A re-evaluation mission to the United Republic of Tanzania was conducted in November 2020 in close partnership with the country’s veterinary services. This was the first SET re-evaluation done, and the country was the first to pilot the tool in 2017. Findings from the missions and recommendations were compiled in a report that can be used by governments and partners to identify priority areas to improve animal disease surveillance in the United Republic of Tanzania.
