Descripción
This report describes an in-service training programme for marine fishery extension officers of Orissa, India, carried out between March 1982 and July 1983. The programme dealt with major areas of fisheries extension work - social, economic, technical - and covered three “modules” - credit for fisherfolk, community development, small-scale fishing gear and methods. For each module, the training programme consisted of a preliminary survey to collect information; a training course to assess option s for action; field assignments to plan a pilot project; field workshops; and a final seminar. The pilot project was then implemented. The in-service programme improved the knowledge and the capabilities of extension officers. A major gain was that it led to two independent development projects - credit for fisherfolk and non-formal education for fisherfolk children. These projects are being reported separately in BOBP/REP/32 and BOBP/REP/33 respectively. The in-service training prog ramme was conducted by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) in cooperation with the Directorate of Fisheries, Orissa. The 15 extension officers participated energetically in the programme at every stage. Various government agencies of Orissa – in fisheries, finance and education - offered excellent cooperation.
