Book (series)Using questionnaires based on the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries as diagnostic tools in support of fisheries management 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Although the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code) is not a legally-binding instrument, it represents a consensus of opinion between countries as to the features that should characterize systems designed to ensure sustainable use of fishery resources. This report provides a series of questionnaires corresponding as closely as possible to clauses from Articles 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the Code, which can form the basis for a practical method of evaluating compliance of na tional or local fisheries with its provisions. The general questionnaire approach parallels the procedures used by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and provides a way of converting statements of principle in a global instrument including a legal framework, into a semi-quantitative form that can be more easily used in a multidisciplinary fisheries evaluation of management performance. Emphasis is placed on displaying the results of questionnaires in an easily understanda ble form and how these may be incorporated into decision-making. Approaches that could be used in operationalizing the Code are discussed, using examples where the Code has been applied in questionnaire form for evaluating fisheries objectives described by its different Articles. Other assessment approaches used for related purposes are included for reference. For example, protocols are suggested for evaluating performance in relation to ecosystem management, fisheries co-management and stock re covery strategies, based on the FAO Technical Guidelines for the Code, workshop experience and the fisheries literature. Different formats and procedures are provided, and some of the problems encountered are described. The use of questionnaires to promote adherence to the Code's provisions are discussed using several practical applications. The focus is mainly on applications of the Code at the grassroots level by local fisheries management authorities operating within national fisheries juri sdictions. Includes a CD-ROM -
ProjectFAO/WHO Global Individual Food Consumption Data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT): Developing Capacities at Country Level to Produce Dietary Data to Support Evidence-Based Policy Making - TCP/INT/3706 2023
Also available in:
No results found.To make informed policy decisions ensuring food and nutrition security for all, it is crucial to have access to relevant dietary information Beyond information on country and household level food availability, data on individual quantitative food consumption ( is crucial to assess the nutritional adequacy of the population’s diet For this purpose, FAO and the World Health Organization ( have developed a global database on IQFC data under a joint initiative, the FAO/WHO global individual food consumption data tool (FAO/WHO GIFT) The platform is intended to support evidence based policymaking by providing harmonized information on food consumption As of yet, this tool is underutilized by governments given its limited dissemination scope and lack of harmonization of country datasets The project was designed to enable national institutes from Kenya, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Nigeria and the Philippines to collect and harmonize their IQFC data and support informed decision making to improve national nutrition policies These four countries were chosen given their recent or planned IQFC surveys and the interest from governmental partners The project provided capacity building trainings to data managers in dietary data collection and harmonization in order to share the most recent data on the FAO/WHO GIFT platform In addition, it encouraged government counterparts to leverage these harmonized datasets to develop food based dietary guidelines FBDGs).
