Abstract

This brochure contains the challenges and recommendations from the eight countrie’s case studies on ‘Social Development and Sustainable Fisheries’ conducted by ICSF in Antigua and Barbuda, Costa Rica, Ghana, The Philippines, Bangladesh, Brazil, Thailand and India (Kerala/Tamil Nadu and West Bengal). The ICSF’s studies uses the parameters of social development, within a rights-based framework, laid down in the SSF Guidelines: improved access to health, education, housing, sanitation, potable water and energy, of full-time, part-time, occasional and subsistence, informal and formal, migrant and resident, women and men fishers and fishworkers, and fishing communities, as well as their social development and social security protection towards realizing an adequate standard of living. The SSF Guidelines also seek better conditions for men and women of small-scale fishing communities to engage in activities along the fishery value chain as well as in complementary and alternative income-generating options with credit linkages. The Guidelines go a step further to highlight the importance of reviewing measures that help eliminate violence against women, to protect their access to justice, and to take up measures against piracy, theft, sexual abuse and corruption.
