Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) play a significant role in ensuring food security, providing employment and generating livelihoods, however the sustainability and viability of their existence into the future is under threat with global pressures such as climate change, the increasing industrialisation of larger fishing activities and depleting fish stocks. The objectives of this article are to highlight the contributions of SSFs to poverty alleviation and food security and document the lessons learned and best practices for small-scale fisheries development in Africa to guide realistic policy reform and sustainable development projects. This paper brings together lessons from the development of Africa’s SSFs over the last thirty years alongside a range of case studies, taken from across the continent, of best practices for further development of SSFs from the perspective of food and nutrition security and of improving livelihoods and income. The key findings of best practices and their application to the sustainable development of African SSFs were: (i) supporting local or community governance; (ii) developing integrated, system-oriented policies which focus on the role SSFs play in food and nutrition security; (iii) investing in low cost innovation; (iv) diversifying fishing practices and livelihoods opportunities; and (v) supporting and cross-pollinating existing infrastructure and initiatives. The effective implementation of these practices by projects or governments necessitates the mobilisation of resources, on-the-ground engagement with stakeholders and using local knowledge to make meaningful change.

非洲小规模渔业发展:加强粮食安全和生计的经验教训和最佳做法

小型渔业 (SSF) 在确保粮食安全、提供就业和创造生计方面发挥着重要作用,但它们未来存在的可持续性和生存能力受到气候变化、大型渔业日益工业化等全球压力的威胁活动和消耗鱼类资源。本文的目的是强调小规模渔业对减轻贫困和粮食安全的贡献,并记录非洲小规模渔业发展的经验教训和最佳做法,以指导现实的政策改革和可持续发展项目。本文汇集了过去 30 年非洲小规模渔业发展的经验教训以及来自整个非洲大陆的一系列案例研究,从粮食和营养安全以及改善生计和收入的角度进一步发展小规模渔业的最佳做法。最佳做法的主要发现及其在非洲小规模渔业可持续发展中的应用是:(i) 支持地方或社区治理;(ii) 制定以系统为导向的综合政策,重点关注小规模渔业在粮食和营养安全方面的作用;(iii) 投资于低成本创新;(iv) 使捕鱼方式和谋生机会多样化;(v) 支持和交叉推广现有的基础设施和举措。项目或政府有效实施这些做法需要调动资源、与利益相关者进行实地接触并利用当地知识做出有意义的改变。
