No results found.The Workshop on the Harmonization of Marine Fisheries Policy within Coastal Countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) was the final activity of a project (TCP/RAF/8933) requested by SADC and financed by FAO. It was held at Uroa Beach, Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania, from 24 to 27 July 2001. The Workshop discussed the main working documents presented by the project steering committee: a comparative analysis of the fisheries legal frameworks of SADC coastal countries ; an analysis of international and intraregional trade of fisheries products; and a synthesis of the national reports prepared by the countries. Three working groups were created to discuss elements dealing with trade, legal and fisheries management issues, respectively, taking into consideration the relevant articles of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The three working groups evaluated the documents provided by the project steering committee and improved the list of propose d activities. These were also ranked in order of priority at national and regional levels, and general mechanisms for their implementation were proposed. On the basis of the work of these subgroups, elements for an Action Plan were identified at the regional level taking into consideration the relevant provisions of the Protocol on Fisheries to the SADC Treaty. -

No results found.Given the complementarities that exist between the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) and the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G), there is a need to achieve a coordinated approach to their application to ensure that the objectives they pursue are attained in a coherent, sustainable, efficient and mutually supportive manner. The Strategic Framework for the Integrated Application of VGGT and F&G presented in this document addresses this necessity directly, in recognition of the need to develop and leverage the synergies that exist between the two instruments through strengthened partnerships and cooperation, ensuring that the advancement of responsible governance of tenure in Africa is achieved. -
Book (stand-alone)Bringing back the forests. Policies and practices for degraded lands and forests
Proceedings of an International Conference, 7-10 October 2002, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

No results found.Forests are important natural resources that fuel the continuous economic and social development of many countries. This is especially true of many developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region. However, the rather rapid economic and social development experienced by many of these countries was partly fuelled through exploiting these natural resources in an unsustainable manner. Concerned with the severity of the problems, a number of countries in the region have implemented numerous forest re habilitation projects. While much knowledge and experience have been gained from these initiatives, they have not been widely publicized or adopted. There is an urgent need to bring this understanding to natural resource managers and policy-makers so that appropriate action is taken and supporting policies are adopted. This publication, the proceedings of a conference held in October 2002 in Malaysia, is a collection of some of the most valuable papers that have been recently produced on the sub ject.
