ProjectFactsheetUnlocking 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). -
ProjectFactsheetBuilding 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. -
ProjectFactsheetTechnical 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.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2020
Sustainability in action
2020The 2020 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture has a particular focus on sustainability. This reflects a number of specific considerations. First, 2020 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code). Second, several Sustainable Development Goal indicators mature in 2020. Third, FAO hosted the International Symposium on Fisheries Sustainability in late 2019, and fourth, 2020 sees the finalization of specific FAO guidelines on sustainable aquaculture growth, and on social sustainability along value chains. While Part 1 retains the format of previous editions, the structure of the rest of the publication has been revised. Part 2 opens with a special section marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Code. It also focuses on issues coming to the fore, in particular, those related to Sustainable Development Goal 14 and its indicators for which FAO is the “custodian” agency. In addition, Part 2 covers various aspects of fisheries and aquaculture sustainability. The topics discussed range widely, from data and information systems to ocean pollution, product legality, user rights and climate change adaptation. Part 3 now forms the final part of the publication, covering projections and emerging issues such as new technologies and aquaculture biosecurity. It concludes by outlining steps towards a new vision for capture fisheries. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience – policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportEthiopia: Report on feed inventory and feed balance
2018
2018Also available in:
No results found.Available evidence indicates that pastoral destitution in Ethiopia is principally driven by feed and water scarcity. Feed resources ought to be considered in the broader perspective and not predominantly during emergency as is the case now. Feed inventory and balance is therefore requisite such that the country is aware of its needs, resource availability, gaps, implications and how the gap can be filled within the country. This will make feed interventions in the country effective in the immediate, medium and long term as well as provide solutions for replication in the region. This document presents feed inventory and balance for Ethiopia. -
BookletTechnical briefAgricultural production statistics 2010–2023 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The agriculture sector plays a key role in achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), from accessing nutritious and healthy food to developing sustainable agricultural systems, while respecting human rights and working conditions. The agrifood sustainability challenge affects each territory differently, depending on local strengths and weaknesses: understanding these realities is critical in targeting the appropriate drivers of the agriculture sector and promoting effective policies without overexploiting resources.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) contributes key data that harmonize agricultural production data collected for 199 countries and territories. This analytical brief summarizes and highlights relevant patterns from 2010 up to 2023 featured by the latest data published on the FAOSTAT data platform.
