Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Developing Organizational Capacity for Ecosystem Stewardship and Livelihoods in Caribbean Small-Scale Fisheries" (StewardFish)
Project code: GCP/SLC/211/GFF - GEF ID: 9720
2022Also available in:
No results found.The project “Developing Organizational Capacity for Ecosystem Stewardship and Livelihoods in Caribbean Small-Scale Fisheries” (StewardFish) aimed to support the implementation of the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems initiatives in seven countries of the Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines) and implemented by five Caribbean regional entities. It aimed to empower fisherfolk throughout the fisheries value chains to engage in resource management, decision-making processes and sustainable livelihoods, with strengthened institutional support at all levels. The findings and conclusions of the terminal evaluations highlight the effectiveness of the project's capacity building activities, the platform for inter-agency collaboration, and the strengthening of legal and policy frameworks. Given the short time frame of the projects, as well as the interruptions due to the COVID-19, a number of recommendations are made in order to sustain the results achieved thus far, but which still require investment. -
Book (series)Technical studyParticipation in artisanal fisheries management for improved livelihoods in West Africa. A synthesis of interviews and cases from Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea and Ghana.
A synthesis of interviews and cases from Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea and Ghana
2002Also available in:
The study, based on ten case studies in four West African countries, aims to disseminate lessons learnt on fisher participation in fisheries management and ways of supporting livelihoods through responsible fisheries management. It is intended for government staff, NGO’s and other agencies working on these issues in developing countries. The analysis focuses on: the role of artisanal fishers and government; issues and constraints; and the effect of management on livelihoods. Fishers are in volved in local management measures, which coexist with national measures by fisheries administrations. Fisheries management aims to improve fishers’ livelihoods, but in the short term the more powerful groups benefit, while poorer groups’ livelihoods are threatened. To arrive at a more livelihoods-centred fisheries management, all the phases in management need to be addressed and clearly linked to local-level livelihoods and management issues. There should be a serious commitment to partic ipation issues by all stakeholders in fisheries management.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
