ProjectProgramme / project reportThe Fisherfolk of Puttalam, Chilaw, Galle and Matara Districts, Sri Lanka – BOBP/INF/12 1991
Also available in:
No results found.In 1988, the Government of Sri Lanka requested the Bay of Bengal Programme for Fisheries Development (BOBP) to assist the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (MFAR) to formulate and execute a fisherfolk credit project. It was agreed that the project would aim at developing comprehensive, need-based lending schemes that would incorporate simplicity, timeliness and flexibility, and which would help the fisherfolk to increase their operational efficiency, develop savings/thrift habits and b etter manage their incomes and resources by linking savings with credit. The BOBP planned to start its work with a socio-economic survey in order to get a better grasp of the fisherfolk’s needs. MFAR, at this point, felt the scope of the survey could be expanded in order to strengthen its own information base. MFAR and BOBP there after worked together on planning a survey to meet the needs of both, the twin objectives being to obtain socio-economic information that would help in the formulatio n of the new credit scheme and also supplement the existing socio-economic information base of MFAR relating to the fisherfolk communities of Sri Lanka. The survey was conducted in 1989 by MFAR with the technical and financial assistance of BOBP. This document presents some of the more important findings of the survey, which was conducted in the coastal villages of four fishing districts in Sri Lanka. The learning experience during the survey would, MFAR felt, help considerably in its future surveys in the fishing districts of the island. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileNature-based solutions in agriculture: Sustainable management and conservation of land, water and biodiversity 2021
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the area of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) that improve ecosystem functions of environments and landscapes affected by agricultural practices and land degradation, while enhancing livelihoods and other social and cultural functions. This has opened up a portfolio of NbS options that offer a pragmatic way forward for simultaneously addressing conservation, climate and socioeconomic objectives while maintaining healthy and productive agricultural systems. NbS can mimic natural processes and build on land restoration and operational water-land management concepts that aim to simultaneously improve vegetation and water availability and quality, and raise agricultural productivity. NbS can involve conserving or rehabilitating natural ecosystems and/or the enhancement or the creation of natural processes in modified or artificial ecosystems. In agricultural landscapes, NbS can be applied for soil health, soil moisture, carbon mitigation (through soil and forestry), downstream water quality protections, biodiversity benefits as well as agricultural production and supply chains to achieve net-zero environmental impacts while achieving food and water security, and meet climate goals. -
