In the 1990s, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) turned its fisheries industry to a more open, lucrative and private sector driven, with the support of a series of strategic capacity development interventions sponsored by the Asian Development Bank. The turnaround in RMI's fisheries sector, which is described in this case as "one of the more positive episodes in the economic history of the Marshall Islands", was attributed, at least in part, to the leadership of RMI stakeholders, effective use of external advisors, and a flexible, adaptive and holistic approach to sector reforms.

Marine environments support the livelihoods, economies, and quality of life for communities around the world. But growth of coastal populations and increasing demands on marine resources are putting the future of ocean and coastal resources at risk through impacts such as overfishing, wetland drainage, climate change, and pollution of coastal waters. Given these demands, it is vital to build capacity-the people, the institutions, and technology and tools-needed to manage ocean resources. Unfortunately, many capacity building efforts focus on specific projects rather than on capacity building as goal unto itself, resulting in activities that are not funded or sustained past the typically short project lifetime. This book finds that the most successful capacity-building efforts meet the needs of a specific locale or region based on periodic assessments and include plans to maintain and expand capacity after the project ends. The report recommends ways that governments and organizations can help strengthen marine protection and management capacity, including conducting periodic program assessments, making plans to sustain funding, and developing leadership and political will. The book was produced at the request of Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the President's Circle of the National Academies, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Marisla Foundation, and the Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation.

Most small-scale fisheries are in developing countries and many live in poor and food insecure communities. These guidelines considers how small-scale fisheries can contribute to poverty alleviation and food security, and complement existing technical guidelines on sustainable fisheries. Issues discussed include: participation by small-scale fishers and their communities in development of policy and regulation measures, as well as in management decision-making and implementation processes; cross-sectoral uses of fisheries and related resources; the special role of women in fish marketing, processing and value addition; the significant scope for trade; financing; information research and communication aspects.

The book presents expert assessments of modern opportunities for fisheries and aquaculture in terms of economic efficiency, the state of fishery reservoirs, and the state of ichthyocenoses. The purpose of this book is to provide interested parties (government bodies, representatives of business, science and civil society) with information about modern solutions in the field of aquatic biological resources management, the state of aquatic ecosystems and fish stocks, and modern and promising technologies in aquaculture and fisheries. The book contains an assessment of the state and recommendations for the restoration of natural aquatic ecosystems, an analysis of the state of fisheries and aquaculture in inland waters, taking into account regional characteristics, the development of a methodology for assessing freshwater fish stocks, information on advanced technologies in cage aquaculture in reservoirs and lakes and in circulation systems, data on opportunities for capacity building in small-scale fisheries, and the prospects for establishing a data and information management system for fisheries and aquaculture.

The Regional Capacity Building Workshop to Empower African Women and Youth on the use of the FAO-Thiaroye Fish Processing Technique (FTT) aimed to build the capacity of African women and youth on food safety, fish post-harvest losses, fish handling and processing with a focus on the use of the FTT. The meeting included: six key presentations; working group discussions on the key lessons learned and the challenges related to the adoption of the FTT; and practical training sessions on FTT use and maintenance. The sessions also provided recommendations for future actions needed to promote and support the adoption of the FTT, initially but not exclusively in the countries represented at the workshop. L'Atelier Régional de Renforcement des Capacités des Femmes et des Jeunes Africains sur la Technique FAO-Thiaroye de Transformation du Poisson (FTT) avait pour objectif de renforcer les capacités des femmes et des jeunes africains en matière de sécurité sanitaire du poisson et des produits aquacoles, de réduction des pertes après capture et de manipulation et de transformation du poisson, en mettant l'accent sur l'utilisation de la technique FTT. La réunion s’est déroulée autour de six présentations principales, de séances de travail en petits groupes sur les principaux enseignements tirés et les défis liés à l'adoption de la technique FTT, ainsi que d’une formation pratique sur l’utilisation et l’entretien des fours. Les sessions de travail ont également fourni des recommandations en matière d’actions à prendre pour promouvoir et soutenir l’introduction du FTT notamment, dans les pays représentés à l'atelier.
