    The objective of this report is to disseminate the knowledge gained from the project, “Safety at sea for small-scale fisheries in developing countries” (GCP/GLO/200/MUL, launched in December 2006 and extend to September 2010, and to help countries towards improving safety for fishermen. The report follows the steps in the safety management cycle and addresses important topics to improve the safety for fishermen. The topics are illustrated by good examples from the project activities in West A frica and South Asia. The report will also highlight the outcomes and recommendations from the project. The project aimed at improving the livelihoods of small-scale fishing communities by decreasing the number of accidents at sea and their effects. It was financially and technically supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA). The conclusions and recommendations from the project are that fishermen’s occupational safety has to be addressed in a holistic way. As a cross-cutting issue, it must be addressed at the government level as well as the fishing community level. The first step is to study and understand the situation by implementing and analysing data on accidents at sea. The information from such an analysis will guide in the development of legislation, training, boat building, fisheries management, etc. Focus should be on prevention and mitigation mea sures, which are highly cost effective.
