| dc.description | Under the project “Strengthening resilience and livelihoods of Gazan fishing communities through promoting the establishment of a marine cage farming social business”, the Government of Italy is joining forces with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the Ministry of Agriculture’s Department of Fisheries, to establish a pilot marine cage farm off the coast of the Gaza Strip. The Government of Italy is providing EUR 2 million to address the long-term needs of Gazan fishing communities. Food security and livelihoods in Gaza have been severely impacted by restrictions on the movement of people and goods and access to land and water. Fishers are among the most vulnerable communities experiencing high poverty levels, and high production costs associated with traditional fishing methods and low labour productivity. The establishment of this marine aquaculture zone is intended to encourage the future expansion of the marine aquaculture sector in the Gaza Strip. | |
