    Fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants are fundamental, essential and indispensable foods eaten by people around the world as part of healthy diets, cultural heritage and culinary tradition. Small-scale artisanal fisher and fish farmers produce a large portion of this food. The International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022 was an opportunity to highlight the importance of small-scale artisanal fisheries and aquaculture for our food systems, livelihoods, culture and the environment. This report provides a summary overview of the objectives, activities and recommendations of the IYAFA 2022. It aims to motivate relevant stakeholders to ensure that the end of the Year is the beginning of a new era of support for small-scale fisheries and aquaculture.

    The International Year of Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022 in Africa: Final report 2023
    Also available in:

    The International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022 was a unique opportunity for collaboration, both large and small, to focus on the particular needs of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture in Africa. The challenges and solutions related artisanal fisheries and aquaculture in Africa were raised throughout the International Year, particularly at country and regional events across the continent. The message is clear: the role of fishers, fish-farmers and fish-workers is central as custodians of aquatic resources for all. Artisanal fisheries and aquaculture may be small in scale but they are big in value. This publication is a bookend to the International Year’s observance in Africa, as well as a starting point for future collaboration for and with Africa’s fishing communities. With an introduction by the FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Africa, Abebe Haile-Gabriel, this publication sets out a timeline of major events for IYAFA in Africa, showcases examples of FAO’s fisheries and aquaculture projects in Africa, and shares recommendations to support artisanal fisheries and aquaculture in Africa into the future.
