Synopsis (short abstract) The manual on how to design and implement a national communication development policy is a result of the work undertaken by participants of regional workshop held in Niamey, Niger in April 2002. The manual is based on experiences from 1992 when FAO was asked by Government of Mali to assist in designing a communication development policy. The division in charge of communication for development at the time created a methodological approach which made it possible for national consultants to sum up the status of communication for development; to organize a national workshop to validate the results of the studies and design the mission, objectives and plans for implementing a national communication for development policy.

"Participatory landing site development for artisanal fisheries” provides guidance on landing site development planning. This manual helps those working at artisanal fisheries landing sites to identify, collect and analyse information in a participatory way, and consequently to create and seek support for a development plan. It goes beyond simple data collection to explain how to write a project proposal and gives pointers on how to find funding, as well as technical and other support. In additi on to well-known participatory methods of data collection and analysis, the manual includes transects in the fisheries production chain. This unique tool was adapted from the agricultural transect walk. The material is based on a number of cases in West Africa but the principles are applicable worldwide.
