Descripción
Fish and other aquatic products provide nutrient-dense protein and essential micronutrients - vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which are vital for preventing malnutrition and contributing to healthier diets that can help lower the risk of non-communicable diseases. However, aquatic foods are often underutilized, and many crisis response plans still do not sufficiently account for the potential of sustainable aquatic resources.In the context of the priorities of the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) – Global Europe, FAO was in discussions with the European Union’s (EU) Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) on the formulation and development of a new project to enhance the resilience and sustainability of aquatic food systems for countries in fragile situations. The project aims to focus specifically on the development of new aquatic products that can provide key nutrients to vulnerable populations, provide livelihoods, and generate jobs through the development of sustainable value chains.The aim of this Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project was to draft a Project Document to secure EU funding for a project that would guide the implementation of FAO's Blue Transformation agenda through the development of a new aquatic food value chain in at least five countries.
