No results found.The Expert Consultation on Small-Scale Fisheries Management in Sub-Saharan Africa was held in the FAO Regional Office for Africa, Accra, Ghana, from 12 to 14 December 2001. It was attended by 11 experts from nine sub-Saharan countries. Mr Thomas Maembe, Director of Fisheries, United Republic of Tanzania, was elected Chairperson of the Consultation. The Consultation made a thorough review of management approaches employed in the small-scale fisheries in the region and found that Government i nstitutional arrangements/ management was prevalent compared to traditional and co-management systems. However, most countries operate all three in various combinations and in varying circumstances. In view of the analysis of the experiences with regard to procedure, achievements, constraints and lessons learnt, co-management emerged as a viable option for the present, and should be pursued into the future. The Consultation recommended, inter alia, that FAO assist in formulating guidelines for the development and introduction of co-management. The guidelines should include appropriate indicators through which to measure progress of co-management at national and regional level. -

No results found.This document attempts to provide an introduction to social issues and their significance in the analysis and strategic planning in the fisheries sector. It is expected that it will be useful to non social planners involved in those tasks. The document presents a discussion on the identification of social elements in fisheries systems and the ways in which the sociologist or the anthropologist can assist in fisheries management. A framework for the sociological analysis in relation to fisheries strategic planning and management is then presented along with some of the key social issues which fisheries analysts are likely to encounter. Three case studies of social issues associated with fisheries development and management actions are also analysed using the categories proposed in the framework -
Book (series)Report of the Expert Consultation on the Role of Small-scale Fisheries in Poverty Alleviation and Food Security. Rome, 5–8 July 2004. 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The Expert Consultation was convened by FAO in order to elaborate guidelines on the policies and actions needed to increase the contribution of small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation and food security. The twenty-fifth session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries, held in Rome from 24 to 28 February 2003, requested FAO to develop such guidelines as part of its series of technical guidelines on the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The Expert Consultati on had before it a comprehensive background document on the subject matter and recommended that two products be published by FAO: (i) a FAO Fisheries Technical Paper on small-scale fisheries in poverty alleviation and food security that would include a full review of relevant background information; and (ii) FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries on enhancing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation and food security that would be a much more concise document highlighting the actions needed to increase the contribution of small-scale fisheries. The Expert Consultation provided specific guidance for the finalization of the technical paper based on a revision and elaboration of the background document and produced a detailed outline for the preparation of the technical guidelines. It also provided recommendations on the dissemination of both documents and on methods to assess the use and evaluate the impacts of the technical guide lines. The Expert Consultation noted that there is little reference to poverty alleviation and insufficient coverage of small-scale fisheries in the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. It therefore recommended the development of a new Article on “Small-scale Fisheries and Poverty Alleviation”.
