dc.descriptionThe Expert Consultation was convened by FAO upon recommendation of the twenty-seventh session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI), in 2007, and the third session of the FAO COFI Sub-Committee on Aquaculture, in 2006, in order to elaborate guidelines on how to improve the process of aquaculture policy formulation and policy implementation. The Expert Consultation recommended that two outputs be produced by FAO: (i) an FAO Fisheries Technical Paper on planning and policy formulation in aqu aculture development; and (ii) an FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries booklet on planning and policy development in aquaculture. The Consultation produced a detailed outline of the technical guidelines. It agreed on the definitions of policy, strategy and action plan and on the main phases of policy development processes. It highlighted the importance of considerations such as legitimacy, participation in such processes, but in specific circumstances, the inevitability of hard choices. The Consultation emphasized that coordination was one of the most important component of the policy implementation discourse. The Consultation also made recommendations regarding future FAO work in supporting aquaculture policy development worldwide.
