BookletEvaluation of the project “Responsible use of fisheries and aquaculture resources for sustainable development”
Project code: GCP/GLO/352/NOR
2025Also available in:
No results found.The FAO-Norad project "Responsible use of fisheries and aquaculture resources for sustainable development" (2020–2024) aimed goal is to contribute to the sustainable use and conservation of fisheries resources through six distinct thematic components: i) Port State Measures Agreement, ii) climate change adaptation in fisheries, iii) aquatic health and biosecurity, iv) social protection, v) food loss and waste, and vi) other effective area-based conservation measures. The FAO Office of Evaluation, supported by independent consultants, conducted an evaluation of the project (Component 1 was addressed through a separate evaluation). The main purposes of the evaluation are to provide accountability to the donor and project stakeholders, assess the project's achievements, and identify recommendations and lessons learned. The evaluation presented extensive findings, separated by component, and project-wide recommendations. These have been as follows: i) FAO should continue to strategically plan its engagement for similar projects. This includes planning to fund activities with higher chances of scaling-up potential and a good understanding of the funding/economic context for participating countries. ii) It is recommended that FAO continues to contribute its technical assistance to the scaled-up project activities in the future. iii) Consider supporting member states to share outputs and findings from key knowledge products (e.g. publications and case studies still in progress). iv) The project's successes can be replicated in additional countries. In the cases of already participating countries, these can also be extended to other regions. -

No results found.This is the report of the Seventh Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC) Regional Consultative Forum Meeting (RCFM) on Sustainable Development for Resilient Blue Growth of Fisheries and Aquaculture. The meeting was convened in Cebu, Philippines from 7 May to 9 May 2018 and was attended by 80 participants from 16 countries, together with representatives from ten regional and international partner organizations and projects. The key conclusions and recommendations endorsed by the Seventh RCFM are summarized as: (1) The RCFM recognized the great advances in the four thematic areas pertaining to sustainable and resilient fisheries and aquaculture for blue growth in the region; (2) There are a number of remaining and emerging challenges to the sustainability and resilience of fisheries and aquaculture sector; (3) There remains a great need in many countries for reinforced legal frameworks and guiding policies to ensure a human rights-based and environmentally friendly development of the region’s fisheries and aquaculture sectors in line with the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines) and the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF); and (4) More targeted disaster risk management and climate change strategies and technologies for the sector are needed in several countries. The RCFM considered the reviews of regional fisheries and aquaculture, presentations by member countries and regional organizations, reports of action plans of APFIC regional consultative workshops and the major issues outlined in the agenda and developed a report and recommendations to inform the Thirty-fifth APFIC Session. -
BookletAgrifood solutions to climate change
FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance.
