As one of the major objectives of the Programme for Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries in West Africa (IDAF) is to identify, assess and disseminate strategies and mechanisms for sustainable management and development of artisanal fisheries in fishing communities, IDAF responded positively to the request of the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries (MINEPIA) in September 1994 concerning a micro-project entitled 'study on the distribution and marketing channels of marine fish products in the Ndian division -
ProjectNutritional Condition, Food Security, Hygiene and Sanitation in the Fishing Community of Limbe, Cameroon 1996
Also available in:
Development strategy during the 1960 and 1970s was based on the philosophy that developing countries lacked improved technology and capital for speeding up their development.' Industrialization was promoted in order to capitalize on the abundant fish resources. However,the anticipated expansion of the economy did not happen and the development approach shifted towards an integrated rural strategy where emphasis is put on the community as a whole to upgrade incomes and the quality of life tlu:o ugh technical assistance and the active participation of fisherfolk and the community. In this context, emphasis was initially placed on the Community Fishery Centre (CFC) concept as a means of promoting artisanal fishery development. But it became apparent that the presence of a complex of facilities and seivices tailored to meet local needs was no guarantee that the structures/facilities would be used or that development would occur. The active participation of fisherfolk and the mobilisat ion of local and community resources was imperative in order to assure sustainability of initiatives undertaken by development projects and/or the community. -
Book (series)Report of the FAO-WorldFish Center Workshop on Small-scale Aquaculture in Sub-Saharan Africa: Revisiting the Aquaculture Target Group Paradigm. Limbé, Cameroon, 23–26 March 2004. 2005In response to an increasing interest in sustainable aquaculture among governments and international donors, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the WorldFish Centre undertook a review of how aquaculture is targeted in sub-Saharan Africa as a first step in the identification of appropriate extension approaches and production strategies that would suit the various technology user-groups. Representatives of senior fisheries management agencies from nine countries in the region met to discuss progress, opportunities and key constraints to aquaculture development. Through a series of presentations, working group sessions and plenary discussions, broad consensus was achieved on the way forward for African aquaculture. In an effort to realize the goals of aquaculture, an attempt was made to develop a set of practical guidelines that can be used by national governments to insure that the major constraints are being addressed and that the major opportuni ties for aquaculture are capitalized upon to increase the contribution of aquaculture to food security and economic growth.
