The Commission noted the work since the third session, considered the report of the Scientific Committee, reflected on the status of fisheries resources, advised on management of stocks, reminded that there should be more fishery management plans, commended the EAF-Nansen project, cautioned on relying on foreign vessels to report catches within member EEZs, and raised the need for transparency and regional cooperation i n fishing agreements. It established a Regional Steering Committee for the EAF-Nansen project, appreciated initiatives of members and of SADC in the fight against illegal unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing noting that bilateral, regional and global-level efforts were required. It discussed EU regulations on IUU fishing and trade. It considered its direction on climate change and fisheries premature and requested the Scientific Committee to set up a working group with IOTC for further advic e. On improving its effectiveness, members emphasised responsibility, welcomed a results-based approach, and requested a review. A SWIOFP Steering Committee meeting was held in conjunction with the Commission. The Commission elected Maldives, Mauritius and Madagascar to steer the Commission intersessionally and at the fifth session in Maldives, late 2010 or early 2011. -
ProjectProject Document for Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania. GCP/GLO/198/GER - Supporting Food Security and Reducing Poverty in Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania through Dynamic Conservation of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (G
Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
2008Also available in:
No results found.This project is the Sub-Sahara Africa component of the FAO global initiative on conservation and adaptive management of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS). Two specific transboundary systems and their population will be targeted: Masaai pastoral system and upland agro-forestry systems. The “dynamic conservation” approach which the project is advocating will address adaptive management and conservation of productive landscape of Masaai and Upland communities and will build capacity of local communities in Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania as a mean to achieve sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD). It is expected that the project will also contribute to sustainable development through: (i) enhancing the benefits derived by local populations and indigenous peoples from the management, conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity and natural resources; (ii) adding economic value and sharing derived benefits from these systems; (iii) enhancing food security and alleviating poverty while maintaining ecosystem goods and services of traditional agricultural systems (iv) improving awareness and education among government agencies, local authorities and communities, and other stake holders; ( iv) d emonstrating “local livelihood benefits – global environmental benefits linkages” through agro-ecosystem a pproaches across government agencies, local communities, indigenous peoples and private sector; (v) g uarantee that the ri ght to adequate food is realized by ensuring that every man, woman and child, in the t arget communities, have the physical and economic access at all times to adequate food or means for its procurement; and (vi) disseminating key best practices and lessons learnt between implementing agencies, recipient communities and countries -locally, regionally and on a global scale.
