Synopsis (short abstract) In Cambodia, the fisheries co-management emerged as a way to ensure the governance, environmental, social–economic sustainability of aquatic resources and Community Fisheries members who rely on the sector for their economic wellbeing. The factsheet describes how the Smart Fisheries Co-Management (SFC) project is working to formulate and execute efficient co-management strategies and frameworks for sustainable governance of fisheries at the national and local levels. The SFC project operates specifically in the Kratie and Stung Treng provinces on the Mekong River with the aim to empower the members of community fisheries and promote the conservation of aquatic resources.

    Mozambique's coastline supports a rich artisanal fishing sector and provides a source of food and employment for the population. However, the country is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events, which have a significant impact on communities' livelihoods in terms of food and nutrition security. Fisheries co-management presents a viable approach to address these challenges and meet the increasing demand for food resources. The factsheet describes how the Smart Fisheries Co-Management (SFC) project is working in Mozambique to enhance efficient co-management strategies while promoting sustainability and better livelihoods. SFC is conducting trainings in Mozambique to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for evaluating and improving fisheries co-management practices.

    The overarching objective of this report was to determine, from current evidence and experiences from the region, a view of co-management application and performance. Among the findings of the review are: (1) Co-management is associated with positive trends across a range of social, ecological and governance indicators; (2) While overall trends in co-management performance are positive, between years the outcomes experienced by fishers and community members vary substantially between positive experiences and improvements and negative experiences and declines; (3) There is substantial variation in the systems to which co-management is applied and the degrees of inclusion, agency, influence and authority of managing partners; (4) Impacts of co-management on environmental and resource condition, and on the livelihood and economic conditions are determined as much by macro-level drivers of change as by co-management; (5) Initiatives associated with improved or alternative livelihoods were frequent; (6) A history of institutional and policy change created conditions enabling co-management arrangements; (7) Co-management is associated with improvements to representation and inclusion of resource users and beneficiaries; (8) National and international commitments have been made to progress gender equity, women’s empowerment, and socially inclusive processes and outcomes; but substantial challenges remain in meeting them; (9) Co-management is generally associated with higher levels of buy-in and compliance by resource users; (10) Monitoring and evaluation should move towards best practice impact evaluation techniques; (11) Co-management arrangements for fisheries are widespread, diverse, dynamic and supported by a range of institutional structures and organizations.

    This brochure represents a simplified version of the Co-management Plan for Fisheries in the North Rupununi. It presents the vision on how communities would like to see their fishing grounds managed in collaboration with the government Fisheries Department.The SWM Programme is a major international initiative that aims to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in forest, savannah and wetland ecosystems. It is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). Projects are being piloted and tested with governments, national partners and communities in 16 participating countries. The initiative is coordinated by a dynamic consortium of four partners, namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
