    Atelier sur les Aspects Socio-économiques de ta pêche Artisanale en Afrique de l'Ouest (Douala, Cameroun, 17-21 novembre 1997) 1997
    Also available in:
    La stratégie de développement pendant les années 60 et 70 était basée sur la philosophie selon laquelle les pays en développement manquaient de technologie perfectionnée et de capitaux pour accélérer leur développement. L'industrialisation était donc promue dans le but de tirer profit des abondantes ressources halieutiques alors disponibles. Cependant, lessor économique escompté n'a pas eu lieu et l'approche de développement s'est tournée vers une stratégie rurale intégrée où l'accent est mis sur la communauté tout entière. Cela visait à améliorer les revenus et la qualité de vie à travers l'assistance technique et la participation active cte la population de pêcheurs et de la communauté.
