Enhancing fisheries community resilience for sustainable livelihood and coastal resources management
Enhancing coastal community resilience for the promotion of sustainable livelihoods and coastal resources management involves various cross cutting issues, and requires strong commitment from and coordination of the national government, organizations and local institutions. The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) provided funds to SEAFDEC for the implementation of the Project “Enhancing Coastal Community Resilience for Sustainable Livelihood and Coastal Resources Management” through a Technical Assistance Grant Agreement with SEAFDEC/MFRDMD as the Lead Department. With the main objective of improving the socio-economic status of coastal communities including the community fisheries organizations through capacity building programs, the Project had as target beneficiaries the coastal Muslim communities in the IDB countries in Southeast Asia, namely: Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. This article is based on the output of the Project with special focus on one coastal community in Indonesia, which is the Takalar District of South Sulawesi
Identifying research and data related to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 14.4.1: Case studies from Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Viet Nam
During 2022, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) jointly undertook a project to identify and assess research and data from four Southeast Asian countries related to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 14.4.1 – the proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels. The goals of this project were: (1) to increase the visibility of research and datasets by making them searchable on OpenASFA, a system for creating, storing and publishing abstracts and bibliographic references; and (2) to analyse knowledge strengths and gaps in the region and make recommendations for improving the accessibility of research and data. This document presents the final report of the project, including the methodology, results and recommendations for future work
