Book (series)Report of the Workshop on Creating an Enabling Environment for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries
Rome, 14–16 November 2023
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project “Creating an enabling environment for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries” (GCP/GLO/965/SWE), funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), supports the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). It does so by, inter alia, improving relevant legal frameworks applicable to small-scale fisheries and reducing marginalization of small-scale fisheries stakeholders in decision-making processes. The project works with a wide range of stakeholders, ranging from small-scale fishing communities and organizations, to governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and academia, in both marine and inland waters. The project, initiated in December 2018, was designed under the FAO Umbrella Programme for the Promotion and Application of the SSF Guidelines (PGM/MUL/2015-2020/SSF) – Enhancing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to food security and sustainable livelihoods. Activities under the project first started in Cabo Verde, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Myanmar, Namibia, Oman, Philippines, Senegal and United Republic of Tanzania. In subsequent phases of the project, support was further extended upon ad hoc requests to other countries, such as Mozambique, and to a number of small-scale fisheries organizations, civil society orgranizations (CSOs) and NGOs. The project fosters synergieswith the project implementing the SSF Guidelines for gender-equitable and climate resilient food systems and livelihoods’ supported through the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). A workshop on this project with project countries and partners brought together people to share experiences and lessons learned from the project. The workshop, which took place in Rome, Italy, from 14 to 16 November 2023, hosted discussions on the additional followup support that is required to further facilitate the implementation of the SSF Guidelinesat national, regional and global level, hence contributing to a more sustainable small-scale fisheries sector. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFrom reference levels to results reporting: REDD+ under the UNFCCC 2017
Also available in:
No results found.For well over a decade, developing countries have been encouraged to undertake activities in their forestry sectors that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also working to conserve, enhance and sustainably manage forest carbon stocks. These activities are known collectively as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), which was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). More recently, these actions were con firmed by the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, which entered into force in 2016, as a core element of a new global climate change regime. Under this regime, governments have agreed on policy approaches and positive incentives for activities that reduce GHG emissions and enhance carbon sinks in the forest sector in developing countries. Countries have been supported in their REDD+ efforts by organizations including United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which has spe cialized in assisting the development of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) capabilities – crucial to the REDD+ process. This flyer provides an update of developments related to the MRV of REDD+ activities, as well as updating activities related to countries’ submissions of Forest Reference (Emission) Levels (FRELs/FRLs). This report will also summarize experiences with the technical assessment process as of early 2017 and offer an overview of initial REDD+ results reporting and tec hnical analyses of those reports. -
Book (stand-alone)Co-management of fisheries and mangroves as a pathway to the ecosystem approach to fisheries
Good practices and lessons learned from the Coastal Fisheries Initiative
2024Also available in:
No results found.The CFI programme - a global partnership between FAO, UNDP, UNEP, Conservation International, the World Bank and the WWF - has developed three legacy Global Knowledge Products (GKPs) to consolidate experience and lessons learned and to make its successful approaches and tangible impacts sustainable beyond the end of its five-year cycle. This e-book is the first of the series. Within its overall objective of demonstrating holistic, ecosystem-based management and improved governance of small-scale coastal fisheries, the CFI has learned that co-management schemes that empower local communities – women as well as men - to act as stewards of their own resources can result in the sustainable use of fragile habitats such as mangrove forests in ways that can guarantee thriving livelihoods and conservation at the same time. This e-book describes the methodologies and results achieved by the CFI in Indonesia, Latin America (Ecuador, Peru) and West Africa (Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal), which can be adapted to local contexts anywhere in the world. It is aimed at national and international policymakers, practitioners and development agencies and is enriched with testimonies from beneficiaries across these geographies.
