Also available in:
No results found.The Country Programming Framework (CPF) is a framework for agreed priorities in the co-operation between the Sultanate of Oman and FAO. It is a planning tool for FAO to prioritize, guide and manage its assistance at the country level in a comprehensive and structured manner. It is anticipated that this framework shall remain relevant until the closure of 2015, however being a living document it can be updated whenever warranted as a result of implementation and/or emergence of pressing issues. T his document contains a set of priority areas and activities for FAO’s assistance in support of the attainment of Oman’s agriculture, fisheries, natural resources and rural development policy related objectives including food and nutrition security, gender and capacity development. The CPF is jointly owned and led by the Sultanate of Oman through the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MOAF) and FAO. It is therefore framed within and governed by the national medium-term development priorities articulated in Oman Development Strategies and Plans that set out the priority policies and investments of Government for achieving growth, employment and prosperity. In addition, prioritization also benefited from review of the FAO Strategic Framework 2010-2019, World Food Summit Plan of Action 1996, and both the FAO Regional Priorities for the Near East and the Sub-regional Priorities for the GCC and Yemen. The priorities identified for FAO’s intervention and displayed in this document have been jointly formulated by MOAF and FAO through intensive consultations involving almost all Central General Directorates of MOAF, the Batina and Dakhiliya General Directorates of Agriculture and Fisheries, farmers, livestock owners, farmers associations and private traders. Cross-sector participation has also been secured with the involvement of the Supreme Planning Council, Ministries for Environment, Health and Trade, Scientific Research Council, Oman Development Bank and the Agriculture and Fishery Development Fund. -

Book (series)Report of the FAO Workshop on the Status of Shared Fisheries Resources in the Northern Arabian Sea - Iran (Islamic Republic of), Oman and Pakistan. Muscat. Oman, 13-15 December 2010. 2011

No results found.The FAO Workshop on the Status of Shared Fisheries Resources in the Northern Arabian Sea ¿ Iran (Islamic Republic of), Oman and Pakistan was held in Muscat, Oman, from 13 to 15 December 2010. In the last three years, the Government of Pakistan, and especially the Marine Fisheries Department in Karachi, has invested to reinvigorate the stock assessment capacity of the department. A multiyear project involving stock assessments, including marine surveys, is in place through technical a ssistance from the FAO. Even at this early stage, the new data have largely confirmed the parlous state of many of Pakistan¿s marine fishery resources and leave little doubt that overexploitation is the principal reason for this. More work is needed, and much is already under way, to provide clear and specific management recommendations, but the direction and scope of the action needed is already clear. Some of the most valuable resources in question are not limited to Pakistan¿s water s but are shared with regional neighbours or more widely on the high seas. Effective action to ensure sustainable fisheries in Pakistan can only come about if those sharing the resources act in concert. To this end, the Government of Pakistan proposed that the FAO convene a meeting with the two neighbours most immediately affecting Pakistan¿s shared marine resources ¿ Iran (Islamic Republic of) and Oman. The meeting was to identify the stocks of most concern in this regard, look into immediate ways to coordinate and improve the stock assessment efforts among the three countries, and to look forward to ways to set and achieve management goals jointly for these shared resources. To support the convening of this meeting, the FAO Unilateral Trust Fund (UTF) project ¿Support to Fishery Resources Appraisal in Pakistan¿ sponsored the travel and expenses of the meeting, and the Sultanate of Oman graciously agreed to host the meeting in Muscat.
