No results found.The Expert Consultation on Small-Scale Fisheries Management in Sub-Saharan Africa was held in the FAO Regional Office for Africa, Accra, Ghana, from 12 to 14 December 2001. It was attended by 11 experts from nine sub-Saharan countries. Mr Thomas Maembe, Director of Fisheries, United Republic of Tanzania, was elected Chairperson of the Consultation. The Consultation made a thorough review of management approaches employed in the small-scale fisheries in the region and found that Government i nstitutional arrangements/ management was prevalent compared to traditional and co-management systems. However, most countries operate all three in various combinations and in varying circumstances. In view of the analysis of the experiences with regard to procedure, achievements, constraints and lessons learnt, co-management emerged as a viable option for the present, and should be pursued into the future. The Consultation recommended, inter alia, that FAO assist in formulating guidelines for the development and introduction of co-management. The guidelines should include appropriate indicators through which to measure progress of co-management at national and regional level. -

BookletWhy the gender transformative approach is critical to achieving more equitable and resilient small-scale fisheries in sub-Saharan Africa 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This issue brief aims to highlight the benefits of adopting the gender transformative approach (GTA) in small-scale fisheries (SSF) projects and initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa. It serves as an introduction for various stakeholders wishing to gain an initial understanding of how to embed the GTA in fisheries programming. In sub-Saharan Africa, the SSF sector provides nutritious food for local, national, and international markets and underpins local economies in local communities. The SSF sector also provides income and livelihood support to millions, accounting for over 7.5 million men and 2.3 million women. Women are key players in the sector, however, they face major challenges in accessing natural and financial resources, capacity-building, and decision-making arenas at various levels, undermining their access to lucrative business opportunities. The GTA encourages SSF projects, programmes and interventions to foster a different mindset by targeting the root causes of gender inequality and assessing gender dynamics and power relations that perpetuate imbalances such as access to fisheries resources, food security and nutrition, capacity development, decision-making and access to finances and mobility. The gender transformative approach can be put into practice through a suite of different gender transformative methodologies. These include participatory approaches, methods and tools that encourage critical reflection and examination among women and men of gender roles and norms and power dynamics. Adopting the gender transformative approach ultimately contributes to advancing FAO’s commitment towards better production, better nutrition, better environment, and a better life.
