This report presents the findings of the evaluation of project “Creating an enabling environment for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries” funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) between January 2019 and December 2023 (GCP/GLO/965/SWE, known as “SIDA-SSF project”). The project targets ten countries: Cabo Verde, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Madagascar, Myanmar, Namibia, Oman, the Philippines, Senegal and the United Republic of Tanzania. The project supports the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (FAO, 2015b - hereafter “SSF Guidelines”). Target beneficiaries are national governments, as well as small-scale fishers and fishworkers and their representative organizations. The evaluation used an approach based on outcome harvesting and the project’s theory of change. data and information collection included desk reviews of project documentation and outputs, virtual interviews with partners and SSF stakeholders, an electronic survey and field visits in Oman and the Philippines. It was found that the SIDA-SSF project was robustly designed, relevant and responsive to needs and emerging opportunities to further the implementation of the SSF Guidelines. Most notable achievements include greater awareness of the SSF Guidelines at all levels, the preparation of National Plans of Action for SSF (NPOA-SSF) in selected countries, the operationalization of the Advisory and Regional Advisory Groups under the SSF Global Strategic Framework (SSF-GSF), the Illuminating Hidden Harvests (IHH) study and the celebration of the International Year for Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022. The elaboration of a monitoring system for the implementation of the SSF Guidelines has progressed. The project has influence in building the capacity of SSF organizations and actors to represent the interests of small-scale fishers and fishworkers at national level and in international fora. Partnerships are a cornerstone of project implementation and enabling to move the SSF agenda forward. Recommendations include actions to be taken by the SIDA-SSF project core team and FAO. They emphasize approaches and priorities, thematic areas, collaborations and partnerships, social inclusion and targeting, project administration and oversight, learning and knowledge sharing, and finally the place of SSF in “blue” narratives and initiatives as areas to build on the project results and achieve sustainability and long-term impact.
