No results found.The WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) came into existence over ten years ago as one of the agreements annexed to the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO). The AoA declares in its preamble that the long-term objective of WTO members is “to establish a fair and marketoriented agricultural trading system.” The current agricultural negotiations at the WTO are part of the endeavour to bring this objective one step closer to reality. The short-term mission of the AoA, o n the other hand, was to launch the reform process and to take the first steps towards that long-term goal. The AoA disciplines on, inter alia, the three pillars of agricultural market access, domestic support and export subsidies constituted that first step on the path of reform. The in-built agenda contained in Article 20 of the AoA was designed to ensure that these AoA disciplines would be only the first step in a reform process that should culminate in the establishment of a fair and market- oriented agricultural trading system. -
ProjectTen Years of Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries in West Africa (Origin, Evolution and Lessons Learned) 1993

No results found.The Programme for Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries in West Africa (IDAF) was initiated in 1983 with the financial assistance of DANIDA (The Kingdom of Denmark) and NORAD (Norway) to help some 20 coastal states from Mauritania to Angola which wish to develop and manage their artisanal fisheries through participatory and integrated approaches. Participatory and integrated approaches constitute a part of the Integrated Strategy for the Development of Small-Scale Fisheries adopted at th e World Conference on Fisheries Management and Development held in Rome in 1984. The adoption of the strategy reflected not just a recognition of the needs of the sector, but of its value in the production of protein food and the provision of employment. Hence, the implementation of the strategy, it was expected would help correct the neglect and misplaced policies by governments and international donor agencies towards the sector. These policies had characteristically favoured the industri al fisheries sector. Unfortunately attempts to industrialize fisheries did not positively contribute to the socio-economic development of the countries. To the contrary, the industrialization policy, which incidentally was not limited to the fisheries sector, resulted in weak growth in productivity, increased national debt, poor export performance, deteriorating social conditions and growing pressure on aquatic resources due to displacement of people from land. In addressing the particular needs of artisanal fisheries using the guiding principles of the Integrated Small-Scale Fisheries Development Strategy, the IDAF Programme works with and collaborates with a number of associated projects, research institutions and the Departments of Fisheries in the region.
