A participatory approach to identifying and preparing small scale rural investments
2007In recent years, locally designed and managed investment projects have assumed increasing importance as effective tools for sustainable rural development. Supporting local communities to conceive and implement their own projects – whether for income generating activities or for social investments – not only ensures greater ownership and commitment to those projects, but also strengthens the capacity of communities to contribute to and manage their own development. However, the incr easing adoption of this approach by national governments, international financing agencies and rural banks has also highlighted the critical importance of providing adequate support and guidance to national technicians working with communities and other groups in identifying investment needs, defining potential projects, and developing them for external financing. RuralInvest answers this need by offering a series of modules, developed over a number of years and tested extensivel y in the field, which provide such support through a range of materials and training courses, and include technical manuals, custom developed software and instructors’ guides. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyCatch documentation schemes for deep-sea fisheries in the ABNJ - Their value, and options for implementation
FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 629
2018Also available in:
No results found.This paper discusses the potential value of catch documentation schemes (CDS) in deep-sea fisheries (DSF), and the implementation modalities that have to be envisaged, to ensure the effectiveness of this trade-based tool to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The paper argues that CDS are indeed capable of directly addressing a number of IUU fishing practices known to occur in DSF, and that their adoption would improve compliance with fisheries management requirements. Key infringements that may be directly detected and addressed through a CDS include – but are not limited to – violations of closed areas harbouring protected vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) in the deep ocean, and quota overfishing. The paper also establishes the notion that partial coverage of given species through a CDS at the level of individual RFMOs is incongruous from a trade monitoring and control perspective, and that CDS should be considered as either/or propositions with regard to species coverage. With most DSF species having broad distributions straddling many RFMOs, the implementation modality that avails itself as the most suitable option, enabling the operation of an effective CDS, is that of a centrally operated electronic CDS platform – called a super-CDS – shared by a plurality of institutional and state players. -

Developpement de la Peche du Lac de Kossou, Cote d'Ivoire
1978Also available in:
No results found.Ce rapport présente les résultats obtenus dans le lac de Kossou, côte d'Ivoire, avec quatre formules alimentaires adaptées à l'élevage en cage de T. nilotica. La composition de l'aliment de base est la suivante : Farine de riz : 65 % ; tourteaux d'arachide : 18% remoulage de blé : 12 % ; farine de poissons : 4 % ; et coquillages : 1 % . Le taux de conversion moyen obtenu est de 2,32 kg d' aliment/kg de poissons produits. Celui-ci indique que le T. nilotica économise les besoins en protéine par une haute teneur d'énergie dans l'aliment. L'addition d'un complexe de vitamines à cette dernière formule n'est pas necessaire. Il semble qu'il y a suffisamment de ces éléments nutritifs présents dans l'aliment de base et le milieu de la cage. L' augmentation du pourcentage de farine de poissons à 8 % a légèrement amélioré le taux de conversion (2,19). La subtitution du tourteau d'arachide par le tourteau de coton a beaucoup diminué le prix de l'aliment sans avoir un effet sur l'élevage. Les périodes de circulation totale des eaux du lac ont entrainé une mauvaise influence sur les résultats. La basse teneur en oxygène dissous, l'augmentation du taux de respiration subsequent et le manque de plusieurs jours d'alimentation a diminué le rendement de quelques essais (formule vitaminique). Il est conclu que la teneur en protéine brute devrait être augmentée de 25 à 30 % pour rendre l'élevage plus efficace. Du point de vue économique, cette protéine est de sources végétales (tourt eaux de coton) mais un certain pourcentage doit venir de sources animales (farine de poissons). Le reste de l'aliment peut se composer d'hydrates de carbone comme source d'énergie. Du point de vue économique, les frais de l'alimentation avec les granulés complets revient à environ 100 F CFA/kg de poissons produits, par rapport à un prix de vente actuel de plus de 200 F CFA/kg de tilapia, nous pouvons dire que cette alimentation est rentable.
