ProjectCapacity Building for Sustainable Wildlife Management - TCP/GEO/3603 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The sustainable management of wildlife resources requires adequate and reliable information on the extent and state of existing resources and changes over time. In Georgia, the network of hunting-farms in existence under the former Soviet Union was destroyed when the country gained independence in 1991. With the Wildlife Act of 1996, the Hunters’ Union, which had been an important pillar of this network, lost control over hunting areas but was not replaced by an effective state administration system able to address issues concerning hunting and fishing. As a result, most hunting and fishing activities are uncontrolled and make no significant contribution to government revenues. However, both activities have the potential to substantially contribute to the country’s local and tourism economies. The Government of Georgia was fully committed to addressing the lack of institutional, technical and human capacities needed to establish a sustainable wildlife management and monitoring system at the national level. Thus, the project approach was tailored to cope with the country’s specific constraints and information needs in the respective areas. -
ProjectIncreasing the Legal and Operational Capacity to Combat IUU Fishing - GCP/INT/321/EC 2023
Also available in:
Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing undermines national and regional efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks and, as a consequence, inhibits progress towards achieving the goals of long term sustainability. It deprives the poorest and most food insecure people, who depend on fisheries as a critical source of income and livelihood, puts further pressure on the sustainability of marine ecosystems and constitutes both an impediment and a deterrent to private sector development. Despite strong political will at different levels, the introduction of effective measures to tackle IUU fishing has been slow throughout most regions and in many developing countries. While many States have basic fisheries legislation in place, they often lack the enabling policies, laws and regulations to effectively prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. The present project, part of FAO’s Global Programme to support the implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) and complementary international instruments to combat IUU fishing, aimed to improve the capacity of the target countries for the effective implementation of port State measures (PSMs) and complementary monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) operations, measures and tools to combat IUU fishing. Following the project’s inception, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru were identified as recipient countries. -
