Public economy/ policy
The SFLP assists countries to promote the processes required
to bring about policy, institutional and economic changes
that will help reduce poverty in fishing communities. This
theme is based on the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (AMED)
and makes reference to the Code of Conduct for Responsible
Fisheries (CCRF).

Gender approach in fishing communities
In fishing communities as in other communities, men and
women are not affected the same way by poverty. The
specific aim of the SFLP is to reduce poverty among
women and men involved in small-scale fishing activities
by improving their livelihoods. The participatory
appraisals conducted by the SFLP confirm that there is
unequal distribution of the powers and skills available
between men and women in fishing communities.
In order to mainstream gender in fishing
communities, the gaps considered undesirable, which
exist between men and women must first be identified, so
that strategies aimed at reducing them can be
implemented.

HIV/AIDS in fishing communities
In Africa, questions on the transmission and spread of
HIV/AIDS are clashing with among others, ignorance of the
population and myths about traditional cures for the
pandemic.
The small-scale fishing sector in Africa is not spared from
this situation. The migration of fishermen between the
different countries of the sub-region, the high influx of
persons to the major fish markets in the region, the
vulnerability of women to HIV/AIDS infection linked to
socio-cultural factors (weak powers of negotiation on the
use of preservatives), absence of close-by support, limited
access to preservatives, lack of security and poverty
considerably influence the progress of the epidemic and
serve as an ideal vector for the spread of the disease.

Inland fisheries co-management
(Pilot Project No.1)
The improvement of the policy and institutional
environment for the development of inland fisheries
co-management systems has been integrated in Pilot
Project No. 1. The objective is to contribute to
reducing poverty and improving livelihoods in fishing
communities along lakes Bagré and Kompienga (Burkina
Faso), Kossou (Côte d’Ivoire), Volta (Ghana) and
Selingué (Mali). This objective will be achieved by
facilitating the process for preparing and implementing
the mechanisms used in the participatory management of
fisheries resources of these lakes, and in integrating
fishing communities in local development.
Four countries are concerned by this project:
Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Mali.

Participatory management of coastal fisheries
(Pilot Project No. 2)
The participatory surveillance component of SFLP Pilot
Project No. 2 aims to generally improve the management of
fisheries resources through collaboration between coastal
fishing communities, the government and civil society. This
participatory surveillance was carried out by implementing
public policies and institutional framework and regulations
that promote the participatory management of fisheries in
coastal areas, the setting up of functional consultation
mechanisms, building up the capacities of all stakeholders
to participate in fisheries management, and preservation,
and the management of the coastal marine environment and
local development.
This project involves four countries: Congo, Gabon, Guinea
and Mauritania.

Post-harvest in small-scale fisheries
(Pilot Project No. 3)
In developing sustainable livelihoods in small-scale
fisheries, Pilot project No. 3 focuses on the aspect
relating to the post-harvest sub-sector.
The objective of this project is to reduce poverty among
stakeholders in the post-harvest sub-sector by
developing policies and institutions that will promote
livelihoods improvement and food security. The objective
is to improve the key processes by building up the
capacities of stakeholders in the post-harvest
sub-sector, developing partnership, and promoting the
responsible use of natural resources.
The four countries involved in this project are:
Cameroon, Chad, The Gambia and Senegal.
