Description
The project aims to support the ASEAN Member States (AMS) in the implementation of sustainable aquaculture and small-scale fisheries (SSF) initiatives, in line with the Strategic Plan of Action for ASEAN Cooperation on Fisheries (SPA-Fisheries 2021-2025), looking at paradigms and models proposed by FAO/GFCM, the European Union/MEDAC, and by the food safety and Mediterranean diet UNESCO. The Project leverages the ASEAN-Italy Partnership to contribute to the development and/or integration of strategies, policies, standards and codes of conduct of the ASEAN Secretariat and of the AMS aimed at strengthening sectors’ competitiveness and sustainability. The project has two components: The reinforcement of the aquaculture sector through multisectoral policies, strategies, and tools such as the development of the ASEAN Good Aquaculture Practices (GAqP); the conduct of training and capacity building on the GAqP, exchange of knowledge and best practices between Italy and ASEAN in aquaculture system development and labelling. The project is expected to produce a GAqP for key aquaculture products for export and local consumption for both marine and freshwater species, and the methodology adopted in the GAqP can be replicated also for developing other GAqP on other aquaculture species of interest of AMS. ii) Strengthening coastal and small-scale fisheries resources management looking at paradigms and models proposed by FAO/GFCM, the European Union/MEDAC, and by the food safety and Mediterranean diet UNESCO. On this component the project will: a) study the phenomenon of Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discharged Fishing Gear (ALDFG) and will develop a Regional Road Map/strategic planning and a Regional Action Plan/mid-term operational tool; b) support the customization of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) at the regional level, looking at ASEAN context.
