ProjectTechnical Assistance for Strengthening Fisheries Research, Development and Management Capabilities - TCP/ERI/3803 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries development in Eritrea faces many challenges. For example, the waters of the southern part of the Red Sea are highly productive and rich in biodiversity, but systematic stock assessments of important species are not routinely conducted by the Ministry of Marine Resources (MMR). As a result, the size of Eritrea's fisheries resources is unknown, and without knowledge of the extent of the resource, sustainable management is difficult. The MMR needs to develop its capacity in areas such as fish stock assessment (both marine and inland), fish processing, aquaculture, small boat manufacturing and fisheries governance. The main objective of the project was to build capacity within the MMR to collect, analyze and use data for better resource management. Improving technical capacity was also essential for the successful implementation of the Fisheries Resource Management Program (FReMP) and for building a solid knowledge base for the future. -
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.
