Book (series)Promotion of sustainable commercial aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Experiences of selected developing countries - Promotion de l'aquaculture commerciale durable en Afrique subsaharienne. Expériences de certains pays en développement 2001
Also available in:
No results found.This paper presents reports of studies on commercial aquaculture which were commissioned in Côte d'Ivoire, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia in Africa, and Costa Rica and Honduras by the FAO Fishery Development Planning Service. It also includes a summary which discusses the main points of each original report. For commercial aquaculture to develop in the region, major interventions priorities would be required in the area of: (1) Credit: adapted credit lines should be developed for aq uaculture. To achieve this, banks need to be convinced of the profitability of commercial aquaculture; (2) Enabling economic environment: changes in government policies are needed to help develop commercial fish farming, especially through tax incentives, import facilities and better permit handling; (3) Feed supplies: the technology for fish feed production based mainly on local products needs to be codified in practical form to provide for the development of a proper fish feed industry. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFrom reference levels to results reporting: REDD+ under the UNFCCC 2017
Also available in:
No results found.For well over a decade, developing countries have been encouraged to undertake activities in their forestry sectors that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also working to conserve, enhance and sustainably manage forest carbon stocks. These activities are known collectively as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), which was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). More recently, these actions were con firmed by the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, which entered into force in 2016, as a core element of a new global climate change regime. Under this regime, governments have agreed on policy approaches and positive incentives for activities that reduce GHG emissions and enhance carbon sinks in the forest sector in developing countries. Countries have been supported in their REDD+ efforts by organizations including United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which has spe cialized in assisting the development of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) capabilities – crucial to the REDD+ process. This flyer provides an update of developments related to the MRV of REDD+ activities, as well as updating activities related to countries’ submissions of Forest Reference (Emission) Levels (FRELs/FRLs). This report will also summarize experiences with the technical assessment process as of early 2017 and offer an overview of initial REDD+ results reporting and tec hnical analyses of those reports.
