The overall objective of the Working Group is to contribute to the improved management of small pelagic resources in West Africa through the assessment of the state of the stocks and fisheries to ensure sustainable use of these resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The Working Group focused on data quality and on the analysis of tre nds in the basic data (catch, effort, abundance indices and length distribution) and trends in the fishery independent survey data. The species assessed by the Working Group were: sardinella (Sardinella aurita and Sardinella maderensis), bonga (Ethmalosa fimbriata), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trecae and Decapterus rhonchus) and other Carangidae, in the region between the northern border of Guinea-Bissau and the southern border of Angola. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources – Subgroup South. Libreville, Gabon, 6–15 September 2017.

No results found.The fourth meeting of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources, Subgroup South met in Libreville, Gabon, from 6-15 September 2017. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Southwest Africa through assessment of the state of the stocks and the fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of the coastal countries. A total of around 53 stocks were analyzed and when possible assessed by the group. For each of these sections, information is provided on the fisheries, sampling scheme and intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, trends (catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices), assessment, management recommendations and future research. As for the previous meeting of the Working Group in 2011, trends and quality of the basic data (catch, effort and length frequencies) collected by each country, were one the main topics of discussion during the 2017 Working Group meeting. The results of the assessments show that some of the stocks analyzed are fully to overexploited, and the working group thus recommended that fishing effort should be reduced for the overexploited stocks or not increased for the other stocks, to avoid further decreas. For most of the stocks assessed, the only series of stock abundance indices available were commercial CPUE data series. When possible, recommendations on catch levels are also indicated for each stock. Given that most demersal fisheries in the region are multi specific, an overall reduction in fishing effort is necessary. A summary of the assessments and management recommendations is given in Table 8. La quatrième réunion du Groupe de travail FAO/COPACE sur l'évaluation des ressources démersales, sous-groupe Sud s’est tenu à Libreville, Gabon, du 6 au 15 septembre 2017. L'objectif global du Groupe de travail est d’évaluer l’état des ressources démersales dans la zone COPACE Sud et de faire des recommandations sur les options d’aménagement et d’exploitation des pêcheries pour assurer une utilisation optimale et durable de ces ressources au profit des pays côtiers. Au total, environ 53 stocks ont été analysés, et, lorsque cela a été possible, ils ont été évalués par le groupe de travail. Pour chacun de ces groupes, des informations sont fournies sur les pêcheries, les schémas et l’intensité d’échantillonnage, les caractéristiques biologiques, l’identité du stock, les tendances des données (capture, effort, données biologiques et indices d’abondance), les évaluations, les recommandations d’aménagement et recherches futures. Comme dans la réunion précédente du Groupe de travail qui s’est tenue en 2011, parmi les principaux thèmes de discussion de la réunion de 2017, on peut citer les questions relatives à la qualité et aux tendances des données de base collectées par chaque pays (captures, effort et distribution de taille). Les résultats des évaluations montrent que de nombreux stocks analysés sont pleinement exploités ou surexploités. Le Groupe de travail a donc recommandé que l’effort de pêche soit réduit pour les stocks surexploités et n’augmente pas pour les autres afin d’éviter leur épuisement dans le futur. Pour la plupart des stocks évalués, les seuls indices disponibles de l’abondance du stock étaient les données de CPUE commerciales. Lorsque cela a été possible, des recommandations sur le niveau des captures sont aussi indiquées pour chaque stock. Étant donné que la plupart des pêcheries de la région sont multispécifiques, une réduction générale de l’effort de pêche est nécessaire. Le résumé des évaluations et des recommandations d’aménagement est fourni dans le tableau 8.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -

Book (series)Manual / guideBiosecurity guide for live poultry markets 2015
Also available in:
Live poultry markets are an important part of the poultry supply chain in many parts of the world. However, the emergence of avian influenza viruses that can cause severe disease in humans which results from working in or visiting contaminated markets means that some long-standing practices are no longer acceptable. This guide has been produced for live poultry market managers and provides practical options for improving the hygiene and biosecurity of their markets. The guide is structured as a series of questions based on real-life situations and problems. It also contains information on appropriate ways to decontaminate markets and the equipment and vehicles that enter markets. It does not provide a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution for markets given that these vary from large wholesale markets with a daily throughput of tens of thousands of poultry to small roadside or village markets that operate once or twice per week. Instead, this guide offers a menu of options that can be used to fi nd cost-effective solutions for any type of market. A shift is already occurring away from live bird sales to centralized slaughter, but while live poultry markets continue to operate it is imperative that those that remain are managed in a way that reduces the risk of infection of poultry and humans with avian influenza viruses. This guide will help market managers to achieve this goal.
