Synopsis (short abstract) This publication aims to directly contribute to the development of an enabling policy environment to innovate, formulate and reform policy and legal frameworks to support the multidimensionality of small-scale aquatic food producers. The comparative analysis identifies how the recommendations of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication could be implemented when informed by the indicative actions presented in the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019–2028 Global Action Plan, as well as thematic areas where one instrument can complement the other.

    The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) are the first international instrument dedicated to the immensily important small-scale fisheries sub-sector. They inform policies, strategies, and legal frameworks for small-scale fisheries, impacting not just the fisheries themselves but the entire fishing communities. They embrace a clear human rights-based approach. These guidelines are comprehensive and global, designed to inspire dialogue, inform policy processes, and guide action at national, regional, and international levels.On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the SSF Guidelines in 2024 this publication provides a summary overview of related global FAO guidance and information materials. It is not exhaustive and does not include region or country-specific materials.

    Report of Capacity development Workshop on the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication for Indigenous Peoples of Central America 2019
    Also available in:
    For centuries, fishing has been an activity of great importance for indigenous peoples. They inhabit and relate to water ecosystems, which conserve their cultural heritage, food sovereignty (the right to access healthy and culturally appropriate food) and in many cases are a main source of income. In Central America the situation is not different: today indigenous peoples live in more than 75% of the marine-coastal zones of the Caribbean Sea and extensive areas adjacent to continental waters and the Pacific Ocean, and have in fishing their main incomes. Precisely these areas present the highest indicators of poverty and malnutrition in the region. Taking this context into account, FAO and FILAC joined forces to promote the implementation of the voluntary guidelines for the sustainability of small-scale fisheries (DV-PPE) in the context of food security and the eradication of poverty. They organized the international course "Voluntary Guidelines for the Sustainability of Small Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and the Eradication of Poverty for Indigenous Peoples of Central America". During the course, government representatives, indigenous leaders and indigenous fishermen from six countries (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua) gathered to learn, share, advocate, dialogue and build a roadmap to implement in their countries.
