Synopsis (short abstract) Mozambique's coastline supports a rich artisanal fishing sector and provides a source of food and employment for the population. However, the country is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events, which have a significant impact on communities' livelihoods in terms of food and nutrition security. Fisheries co-management presents a viable approach to address these challenges and meet the increasing demand for food resources. The factsheet describes how the Smart Fisheries Co-Management (SFC) project is working in Mozambique to enhance efficient co-management strategies while promoting sustainability and better livelihoods. SFC is conducting trainings in Mozambique to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for evaluating and improving fisheries co-management practices.
