| dc.description | The main objectives of the Fishermer's Relocation Programme (FRP) are twofold: one is to alleviate the incidence of poverty of traditional fishermen by offering them alternative employment opportunities and the other is to decrease in absolute terms the number of fishermen in order to reduce the impact of fishing effort to resources. The chief administrative instruments to attain these objectives are the Fisheries Development Authority (LKIM) and the Department of Fisheries (DOF), which act as t he main agents for establishing policies, planning and implementing the FRP in Malaysia. Fishermen's relocation and resettlement projects are however closely linked with the activities undertaken by other departments and agencies as well, and proper coordination and concerted efforts among these offices are essential. The absorptive capacity of surplus labour by other sectors of industry seems to be promising particularly in land development and manufacturing. To expedite the relocation of surpl us fishermen, fostering technical skills and entrepreneurship among them is indispensable. In view of unsatisfactory performance in the achievements of training programmes conducted by LKIM, it is deemed necessary to carry out an overall evaluation on the sub-programme “Upgrading Of Skills And Entreneurship”. | |
