Through the FAO Umbrella Programme for the promotion and application of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (FAO SSF Umbrella Programme), we raise awareness about challenges and opportunities in small-scale fisheries; we strengthen the science-policy interface by generating better information on small-scale fisheries; we empower small-scale fisher and fish worker organisations and increase governments’ knowledge, skills and capacity; and we support the implementation of the SSF Guidelines by creating an enabling environment. The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) are the first internationally agreed instrument dedicated entirely to the small-scale fisheries sector. They complement other global instruments and initiatives to achieve sustainable small-scale fisheries through a human rights-based approach. Implementing them can for instance act as a springboard towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030, in particular SDG 14.b: to “provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets”. We have so far supported activities to implement the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) in over 40 countries and in various global and regional forums.
