The overall objective of the workshop was to raise awareness and support the implementation of the SSF Guidelines in the region. The workshop noted that, across the region, small-scale fisheries contribute to livelihoods, food security, and local and regional economies. There are encouraging developments in the region in relation to legal reforms, strengthening participation of small-scale fisheries actors and co-management approaches. On the other hand, many challenges persist, including heavily exploited fishery resources in coastal area, poo r infrastructure facilities and services, increased risks from disasters and climate change, competition from other sectors ,insufficient operationalization of fisheries management plans and institutionalization of the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) in national fisheries governance frameworks. There is therefore a strong need to move from theory to practice and to link policy and actions in the spirit of the SSF Guidelines.
