ProjectFactsheetSupporting the Implementation of the Regional Plan of Action to Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing in the Caribbean - GCP/SLC/016/EC 2024
Also available in:
No results found.National economies, food security, the environment and labourstandards are all negatively impacted by illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which is estimated to account for between 20 and 30 percent of all fishing in the Caribbean. The deleterious effects of IUU fishing are exacerbated further by a regional context that is characterized by limited management, conservation and development capacities, as well as limited technical and operational capabilities. Regional collaboration is critical to preventing, deterring and ultimately eliminating IUU fishing, and to improving the overall governance of oceans. A key player in this collaboration in the Caribbean is the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), which, in recent years, has been undergoing a strategic reorientation with the aim of becoming an effective Regional Fisheries Management Entity/Arrangement (RFME/A). This project was designed to enhance regional governance for sustainable fisheries by supporting WECAFC’s 34 members in their efforts to combat IUU fishing, and to support the establishment of a regional fisheries management body to advise on and enforce the WECAFC’s mandate as an RFME/A. -

No results found.This document contains the report of, and some of the papers presented at, the FAO Regional Workshop on the Elaboration of National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing – Caribbean Subregion which was held at Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from 22 to 26 November 2004. The purpose of the Workshop was to assist countries in the Caribbean subregion to develop capacity so that they would be better placed to elaborate national plans of actio n to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (NPOAs–IUU). The Workshop addressed issues relating to the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the 2001 International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) and Technical Guidelines No. 9 that have been developed to support the implementation of the IPOA-IUU; concepts of planning and the elaboration of action plans; a case study for the deve lopment of a NPOA-IUU in a small island developing State; decision-making about IUU fishing and skills enhancement through the identification of key issues relating to the elaboration of NPOAs-IUU, the primary vehicle by which the IPOA-IUU will be implemented by countries. Working groups were formed to encourage maximum participation in the Workshop. A review of the major IUU fishing problems in the region and their possible solutions were discussed. -

No results found.This document contains the report of, and the paper presented at, the FAO Regional Workshop on the Elaboration of National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing – Southern and East Africa Subregion, held at Kariba, Zimbabwe, from 24 to 28 November 2003. The purpose of the Workshop was to assist countries in the southern and eastern Africa region to develop capacity so that they would be better placed to elaborate national plans of a ction to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (NPOAs–IUU). The Workshop addressed the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA–IUU) in detail and the Technical Guideline that had been developed to support the implementation of the IPOA–IUU; two case studies; decisionmaking about IUU fishing and skills development through identification of key issues relating to the NPOA–IUU, the vehicle through which the IPOA–IUU will be implemented by countries. Working groups were formed to encourage maximum participation. A review of regional fishery issues was discussed including ways of improving collaboration and identifying regional priorities. The document prepared by Ms J. Swan entitled “National plans to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing: models for coastal and small-island developing states” was funded through FishCode Programme component projects G CP/INT/849/USA (“Support for the Implementation of the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing”) with Trust Fund support from the Government of the United States of America, and GCP/INT/823/JPN (“Responsible Fisheries for Small Island Developing States (SIDS)”) with Trust Fund support from the Government of Japan.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideManual para manipuladores de alimentos: alumno 2017Las enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA) son uno de los problemas de salud pública que se presentan con más frecuencia en la vida cotidiana de la población. Los peligros causales de las ETA, pueden provenir de las diferentes etapas que existen a lo largo de la cadena alimentaria (desde la producción primaria hasta la mesa). Independientemente del origen de la contaminación, una vez que este alimento llega al consumidor puede ocurrir un impacto en la salud pública y un severo daño económico a los establecimientos dedicados a su preparación y venta. Ambos eventos, pueden provocar la pérdida de confianza y el cierre del negocio. Por fortuna, las medidas para evitar la contaminación de los alimentos son muy sencillas y pueden ser aplicadas por quien quiera que los manipule, aprendiendo simples reglas para su manejo higiénico. Este manual tiene el propósito de llevar a las personas que manipulan alimentos, pero en especial a los trabajadores de este rubro, el conocimiento necesario que les facilite aplicar pautas correctas en su trabajo cotidiano. Junto con lo anterior, se busca ofrecer la información base en materia de inocuidad de los alimentos, para que los países de América Latina y el Caribe (LAC) adapten los conocimientos expresados en el manual a las necesidades particulares de cada país. El manual está estructurado en tres módulos y sus anexos, que hacen relación a los siguientes temas: 1) Peligros de los alimentos; 2) Enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA); y 3) Medidas higiénicas para prevenir la contaminación de los alimentos. La evaluación forma parte de la etapa final de este Manual. El objetivo aquí es verificar los conocimientos aprendidos durante el desarrollo del curso sobre la importancia del manejo higiénico de los alimentos para la salud de la población.

Book (series)FlagshipEl estado de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en el mundo 2022
Adaptación de las políticas alimentarias y agrícolas para hacer las dietas saludables más asequibles
2022El informe de este año debería disipar cualquier duda que quede de que el mundo está retrocediendo en sus esfuerzos por acabar con el hambre, la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición en todas sus formas. Solo nos separan ocho años de 2030, pero la distancia para alcanzar muchas de las metas del ODS 2 es mayor cada año. Realmente se están realizando esfuerzos para avanzar hacia el cumplimiento del ODS 2, aunque están resultando ser insuficientes en un contexto más difícil e incierto. La intensificación de los principales factores causantes de las tendencias recientes de la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición (a saber, los conflictos, los fenómenos climáticos extremos y las perturbaciones económicas), junto con el elevado costo de los alimentos nutritivos y las crecientes desigualdades, seguirán dificultando la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. Y así será hasta que los sistemas agroalimentarios se hayan transformado, sean más resilientes y proporcionen alimentos nutritivos a un menor costo y dietas asequibles y saludables para todos, de manera sostenible e inclusiva.
