BookletTechnical reportThe importance of small-scale fisheries for food security in Madagascar 2025
Also available in:
This publication aims to provide an overview of the contribution of small-scale fisheries tohealthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in Madagascar. Small-scale fishing in Madagascar is primarily conducted in coastal and inland areas using non-motorized dugout canoes. It was estimated that in 2022, in nearly 2 500 surveyed fishing villages, approximately 242 000 people (men and women) were directly involved in the small-scale fisheries sector, with production reported at around 90 000 tonnes. The contribution of both inland and marine small-scale fisheries is critical for Madagascar. As an accessible and indispensable food source for fishing households, this sector plays a vital role in national food and nutrition security through marketing and distribution networks. It also contributes significantly to exports, generating nearly USD 120 million (2022). The commitment of all stakeholders to implement the SSF Guidelines will help safeguard natural resources and enhance small-scale fisheries’ contribution to sustainable development and food systems in Madagascar. This document offers recommendations and strategies to improve the management of small-scale fisheries, enhance post-harvest value chains, promote fish consumption, and focus on nutrient-rich fish species from small-scale fisheries. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
