Book (series)Decision-making in Regional Fishery Bodies or Arrangements: the evolving role of RFBs and international agreement on decision-making processes. 2004
Also available in:
No results found.This Circular describes the evolving role of regional fishery bodies or arrangements (RFBs), from the advisory bodies established during the first half of the twentieth century to the current trend of establishing management bodies. It also describes the recognition in recent international instruments of the authority of RFBs as management bodies, a response to the need for strengthened fisheries governance by RFBs. References to the role of RFBs and decision-making are reviewed in the 1982 Un ited Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the 1993 FAO Compliance Agreement, the 1995 United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing. This Circular is descriptive only, and presents information on selected RFBs in summary form. There is no assessment or analysis of the decisions taken, as the objective of this review is to promote a better understanding of the evolution of the role of RFBs and relevant international agreement on the elements involved in decision-making processes. -

Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme
2021Also available in:
The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme aims to reconcile the challenges of wildlife conservation with food security and rural socio-economic development. To meet this objective, an innovative behaviour change approach is being developed to address human–wildlife conflict (HWC) and create a more balanced coexistence between people and wild animals. This holistic SWM Programme approach is based on an HWC mitigation framework that: • takes into account the strong temporal and spatial dynamics of HWC in a landscape; • considers the needs and expectations of affected people as well as the wild species with which they share the habitat; • adopts a decision support system to select a suite of both short- and long-term intervention measures; and • provides guidance on practical solutions to avoid and minimize risk, while reducing and offsetting the cost of coexisting with wildlife. The SWM Programme is working 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. This approach is currently being tested in Gabon, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
