The Global Stakeholders’ Workshop was hosted and organized by the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO), which is an institution of the East African Community. The Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO) of the United Nations provided technical and financial support to Entebbe 2016. The meeting was held at the Imperial Botanical Beach Hotel and Convention Center between the 1st and 4th March 2016 in Entebbe, Uganda. The global workshop followed-up on other events on rights-based approaches for fisheries such as the global forum UserRights 2015 (Siem Reap, Cambodia, March 2015) and the informal think tank Friends of UserRights 2015 (Fiumicino, Italy, October 2015). Next to UserRights 2015 an d Friends of UserRights 2015, Entebbe 2016 took into account the results and information generated by recent consultations supporting the development of the Small-scale Fisheries Guidelines (SSF Guidelines). It specifically addressed issues related to concepts and terminology in fisheries tenure and provided improvements on information and knowledge for improving the global knowledge base on how to improve fisheries tenure on a practical level. The purpose of Entebbe 2016 was to: a) foster a mut ual understanding of the challenges faced by different groups in fisheries communities with regard to rights-based approaches for inland and marine fisheries; b) advance the skeleton global work programme on rights-based approaches in marine and inland fisheries1; and c) review the first part of the document A technical guide to support the implementation of the voluntary guidelines on the responsible governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests in the context of national food security.
