Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>NAMIBIA\u2019S small-scale fisheries sub-sector indirectly supports the livelihoods of over 280 000 Namibians, making up approximately 11% of the country\u2019s total population. Livelihood support is in the form of income, employment, socio-economic benefits, food, and nutrition security.<\/p>\n

According to Albertina Joseph Dishishi, Chief Fisheries Biologist, a fisheries baseline assessment is one of the activities that is supporting the implementation of the National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries.<\/p>\n

Dishishi made the remarks recently during a workshop held in Kavango East, followed by a mapping assessment of the Kavango East and West Regions. She said that Namibia\u2019s fisheries law does not explicitly recognize or provide support to small-scale fishers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the development of the NPOA-SSF, we have created a framework for supporting fisheries dependent communities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the government through the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources committed to developing the National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF) by implementing the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines).<\/p>\n

Hence, a baseline survey to map small-scale fisheries hotspots that are frequented by women towards promoting gender-equitable and climate resilience food systems at the household level was undertaken.<\/p>\n

Direct support to SSF is estimated at 46 500 of which 45 000 are in the inland fisheries sector and 1 500 fishers are in the coastal small-scale fisheries sector. The SSF Guidelines promote gender-equitable development strategies for small-scale fisheries.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, through the Directorate of Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture, have embarked upon a sub-programme titled Implementing the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines for gender-equitable and climate-resilient food systems and livelihoods.<\/p>\n
