Synopsis (short abstract) The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme puts people’s rights at the centre of wildlife management. It seeks an optimal balance between conservation needs and the use of wildlife for food security and nutrition. To achieve this, the SWM Programme developed a community rights-based approach to be adapted at project sites, so that local and indigenous communities are: • ensured equitable participation and inclusion in all project activities; • empowered in their legal use and sustainable management of natural resources; and • strengthened in their capacity to manage and benefit from wildlife. The SWM Programme works in 15 countries, namely Botswana, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Official representatives from 18 countries participated in the first two workshops under the framework of the project “Sustainable Management of Tuna Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation in the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ)”, also known as the ABNJ Tuna Project. These workshops focused on the implementation of the precautionary approach and on rights-‐based management approaches. The ABNJ Tuna Project is a global project executed by UN Food and Agriculture Organizatio n (FAO), in collaboration with a number of partners, and is part of the Common Oceans Program that includes another three global projects. WWF is the lead partner for the implementation of these workshops with generous coordination and advice from the FAO.
