No results found.The FAO Workshop on Future Directions for Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries Action, Research and Development was held at the Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai, the People’s Republic of China, from 23 to 24 April 2011. The Workshop was attended by 24 experts from 14 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania, and FAO. The Workshop built on United Nations and FAO commitments that heighten attention to the gender dimension in development. It was conven ed with a goal to generate strategic ideas and actions that could be used to develop a «road map» for future directions on gender in aquaculture and fisheries. To this end, the Shanghai statement was drafted as a starting point to guide actions on the path to understanding the implications of roles, experiences and contributions of women and men in aquaculture and fisheries. The workshop showed differences in expert opinions relative to three major issues: (1) whether gender issues in aquaculture and fisheries should be considered broadly as gender issues or more specifically focused on women; (2) who are the most vulnerable types of people in the sector; and (3) what areas and to what extent gender issues in aquaculture and fisheries should or can be considered together or treated separately. Experts agreed that direct advocacy to focus attention on gender in the fish sector is needed to achieve the level of understanding and awareness needed to stimulate actions. Political will is needed to implement and practice gender mainstreaming. Policy makers must be convinced of the need for change, and prerequisites for well-developed policies should be put in place. Such policies must rest on the principles of economic empowerment of women throughout the value chain. Policy priorities should include the needs of marginalized and vulnerable women’s and children’s groups. They also recognized the value of gender training, education and extension using ge nder lens concepts and theory when developing gender training modules relevant for aquaculture and fisheries. Gender should be added to courses which educate and train decision-makers and officials. The workshop identified a number of important key gender concepts and how they relate to research, required tools and data. -

The participants addressed and made decisions on matters concerning relevant follow-up to the Fifth ANAF annual meeting. The meeting was attended by the ANAF National Focal Points and Legal Officers from twelve member countries, one representative of AU-IBAR, one consultant from the ANAF Hub, one representative from FAO Regional Office for Africa, one FAO Aquaculture Officer, one FAO Legal consultant and representatives of LVFO. National Legal Officers attending the meeting reviewed the legal founding documents for establishing ANAF as an Intergovernmental organization (IGO). In parallel, the ANAF National Focal Points discussed alternative options for the establishment of ANAF and prepared a concept note to be presented and discussed at the national level. The National Focal Points will explore if their countries migh t host ANAF Secretariat or whether they would prefer ANAF to be integrated as a unit within AU-IBAR structure. The delegations attending the Seventeenth CIFAA Session in The Gambia at the beginning of May 2017, will report on the decision taken in term of the two above-mentioned options. -

No results found.A priority activity of the SCSP is to stimulate the development of aquaculture as an integrated part of the total development of fisheries. Based on its work to date, one of the major constraints found is the lack of practical, sound, workable, engineering practices to guide development. It is felt that all the expertise required exists in the region, but that it is unevenly distributed and not well known among the countries. This Workshop has provided a vehicle for the exchange of very usefu l engineering practices and further it has given valuable guidance to the Programme in its future activities to assist the region particularly in small-scale fisheries development. It has been carried out with close cooperation of SEAFDEC in providing its facilities and staff and as well as the lodging and living expenses of the participants while attending the Workshop. The Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources assisted also in the organization and implementation. Close collab oration, support and participation was given by the private sector, through the Philippine Federation of Fishfarm Producers, Inc.
