ProjectUnlocking Angola’s Agricultural Potential: the Census for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (CALF) - UTF/ANG/061/ANG 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, the share of agriculture in Angola's economy has grown rapidly and has become the main opportunity for economic diversification and food security. In order to make effective policy decisions and formulate sound and realistic development programmes, detailed and reliable statistics on agricultural, livestock and fisheries resources are needed through regular censuses and annual surveys. However, the last agricultural census in the country was conducted during the colonial era in the early 1970s. The project aimed to strengthen the technical and operational capacity of the national institutions responsible for agricultural statistics, and to provide technical assistance for the implementation of a Census of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (CALF). -
ProjectBuilding the Resilience of Communities Dependent Upon Fisheries in Angola, Namibia and South Africa - GCP/SFS/480/LDF and GCP/SFS/480/SCF 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) is one of the world’s richest marine ecosystems and supports an abundance of life, sustaining both small and large-scale fishery activities that contribute to local food security and employment for hundreds of thousands of people in areas of limited alternatives, and serve as important drivers of economic development. The fisheries sectors in the three countries of the BCC –Angola, Namibia and South Africa –face a number of serious challenges to ensuring sustainable use of the productive but vulnerable marine resources that support them. The decreased productivity of fishery resources impacts upon livelihoods and, in some small-scale communities, the food security of those dependent upon fisheries, leading to a reduction in the economic returns from commercial fisheries at national and regional levels. In addition, climate variability and change represent an additional challenge that could potentially push the natural ecosystem beyond its limits. In this context, the project was designed to build resilience and reduce the vulnerability to climate change of the marine fisheries and mariculture sectors within the BCLME. -
ProjectTechnical Assistance to Reduce Food Loss in the Capture Fisheries Supply Chain - TCP/BGD/3702 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Bangladesh ranks third in the world in inland capture fisheries production and fourth in aquaculture production, accounting for a total production of 4 38 tonnes in 2018 19 It has been reported that small scale fisheries in Bangladesh suffer from serious post harvest fish loss ( every year, mainly as a result of the lack of technical knowledge of those involved in the different stages, from harvest to retail distribution Overall, fish losses can be broadly grouped into two categories qualitative loss and quantitative loss Qualitative PHFLs are caused by biochemical and microbiological spoilage that occur in fish after death Quantitative losses, namely the reduction in quantity and price of harvested fish, occur in fish for various reasons In addition, market force losses are caused by price fluctuation during excess supply, among other reasons As a result of these losses, fish operators along the supply chain ( processors, traders, and other stakeholders involved in ancillary operations) lose potential income In addition, less fish is available to consumers, and they are supplied with low quality fish and fish products Whether quantitative, qualitative or market loss, fish loss is a threat to food and nutritional security, livelihoods, and the sustainable management of fisheries resources.
