Resumen
Descripción
As the world marks a decade since the creation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines), Namibia stands out for its proactive implementation of these guidelines. This publication highlights Namibia's dedication to sustainable development in small-scale fisheries, recognizing their crucial role in socio-economic livelihoods, food security, and economic resilience. Through a case study focusing on the Oshana region, the publication sheds light on the socio-economic conditions of small-scale fishers. Insights gleaned from this study contribute to Namibia's National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF), launched in June 2022. Aligned with the SSF Guidelines, the NPOA-SSF aims to uplift livelihoods, empower fishers, and strengthen the small-scale fisheries value chain, reflecting Namibia's commitment to sustainable development in the sector.
