Book (series)Mid-term evaluation of the project “Delivering sustainable environmental, social and economic benefits in West Africa through good governance, correct incentives and innovation”
Project code: GCP/RAF/837/GFF - GEF ID: 9126
2021Also available in:
Coastal fisheries in West Africa are essential for providing food and employment, supporting the livelihoods of men and women and generating income. The overall objective of the project “Delivering sustainable environmental, social and economic benefits in West Africa through good governance, correct incentives and innovation” is to strengthen governance, management and value chains through the implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries, relevant international tools and innovative governance partnerships in Cabo Verde, Ivory Coast and Senegal. Overall, the evaluation rated the project as “relatively satisfactory". The evaluation recommended certain improvements, particularly concerning the recruitment strategy and organization of personnel, co-financing, the results framework and monitoring of activities. -
ProjectWorkshop on conflicts in coastal fisheries in West Africa 1993
Also available in:
No results found.The marine fisheries of West Africa, the area covered by the IDAF Programme, have for a long time been characterized by the co-existence of small-scale (artisanal) and large-scale (industrial) fisheries. Both fisheries tend to interact not only in a biological sense but also economically and physically. Sometimes these interactions degenerate into conflicts between the two sub-sectors, and occasionally conflicts occur within the artisanal fisheries independent of the industrial sub-sector. Conflicts in the exploitation of fisheries resources are due primarily to the common property characteristics of the resource and the phenomenon of free access/entry. However in some cases, national policies in respect to industrialisation and/or the issuance of fishing licences to foreign fleets have also contributed in increasing the number of conflicts. Recent developments, if not improvements, in small-scale fisheries (for example fishermen now have equipment with better autonomy) have made it possible for fishermen to fish in distant areas, fishing grounds that were not traditionally accessible to artisanal fishing crafts -
BookletTerminal evaluation of the project "The Coastal Fisheries Initiative Global Partnership”
Project code: GCP/GLO/838/GFF, GEF ID: 9128
2025Also available in:
No results found.This evaluation assesses the Global Partnership Project (CFI-GPP) of the Coastal Fisheries Initiative (CFI). The CFI-GPP aims to strengthen global partnerships for sustainable coastal fisheriesmanagement and marine biodiversity conservation across West Africa, Latin America and Asia. Its objectives include fostering integrated, participatory and collaborative approaches, developing innovative tools for fisheries performance assessment, and promoting empirically effective pathways toward environmental, social and economic sustainability. Lessons learned highlight the need for robust, formalized coordination and integrated monitoring and knowledge management systems to fully realize the benefits of global partnerships in sustainable fisheries management.
