The National Plan of Action for Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF) in Malawi aims at creating a sustainable small-scale fisheries sector that enhances food security, nutrition, and livelihoods for fishing communities while safeguarding the rights of vulnerable groups. The overall objective of the NPOA-SSF is to facilitate the coordinated implementation of small-scale fisheries development programs in Malawi, leading to improved food security, nutrition, economic contribution as well as poverty alleviation by 2030. The specific objectives include raising awareness of SSF Guidelines, enhancing collaboration, and building capacity in the SSF value chain. The plan adopts a multi-faceted approach, with a focus on several thematic areas to achieve its goals. One key area of emphasis is responsible governance of tenure and sustainable resource management. The plan aims to strengthen SSF governance structures, promote ecosystem-based management, enhance accountability mechanisms, and review outdated policies. Social development, employment, and decent work are also vital aspects of the plan. It seeks to improve access to equitable and inclusive financial and social services for SSF communities, offering alternative income-generating activities, skill development, and structured market systems to enhance livelihoods and create decent employment opportunities for small-scale fishers.
