DocumentVoluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication. At a Glance 2015Small-scale fisheries play a key role in ensuring food security and eradicating poverty. However, the overall development of the fisheries sector, as well as increased pressure from other sectors (e.g. tourism, aquaculture, agriculture, energy, mining, industry, infrastructure developments) with often stronger political or economic influence, has contributed to a decline in aquatic resources and threats to aquatic habitats, ecosystems and small-scale fisheries community livelihoods. Small-scale fishers, fish workers and their communities also face a myriad of other challenges and constraints, including unequal power relations, lack of access to services and limited participation in decision-making processes, which may lead to unfavourable policies and practices within the fisheries sector and beyond. The SSF Guidelines provide an important guidance tool to address the needs of the sector and empower stakeholders to secure sustainable small-scale fisheries.

The conference reinforced the claim that small-scale fisheries have yet to fully realize their potential to significantly contribute to sustainable development and the attaining of the Unite d Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It identified several critical ways forward in securing sustainable small-scale fisheries that integrate social, cultural and economic development, address resource access and use rights issues guided by human rights principles, and recognize the rights of indigenous peoples. -

COFI proposed the establishment of an SSF Guidelines Global Assistance Programme (GAP) and an outline of this GAP was presented to COFI The workshop was an important step in terms of guidance for consolidating the overall implementation approach for the SSF Guidelines. It is evident that there is an overall willingness to work towards a coherent, coordinated implementation by all stakeholders, based on the guiding principles of the SSF Guidelines themselves. It was confirmed that FAO has an important role to play in terms of supporting and facilitating the implementation, but also in providing technical support and project implementation, based on demand. FAO is looking forward to continuing working on the development of the GAP framework, based on commitment and professionalism and in close collaboration with partners and stakeholders.
