Resumen
Descripción
This report summarizes the activities undertaken by the Programme for Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries in West Africa between January 1993 and November 1993. The IDAF Programme continues to cover the 20 coastal countries from Mauritania to Angola. The IDAF Programme is continuously aiming at applying an integrated and participatory approach working through existing projects, research institutions, and Departments of Fisheries which are the direct beneficiaries. Additionally so me 600,000 artisanal fishermen and about 2 million persons in linked activities as fish processing, distribution, marketing, etc. are the ultimate beneficiaries. The present phase II of the project is administratively coming to an end on the 31 December 1993. However, it is anticipated to continue activities to about March 1994 on savings from the second phase. A proposal for a phase III has been prepared by a team of Liaison Officers and IDAF staff on the basis of the recommendations of th e tripartite review (November 1992), which was endorsed by the Sixth Liaisons Officers Meeting. The proposal was forwarded to DANIDA with a request for continuous funding. In principle DANIDA is in favour of the proposed III phase of the IDAF project. However, the proposed budget exceeded the ceiling for DANIDA Trustfunding. Thus, it has been requested to draft a new proposal following the same lines but with a cut back in activities and budget. The response from DANIDA on the second project pr oposal is awaited. The Terminal Report for phase II is under preparation.
