Human Capacity Development in Fisheries
Client: Food and Agricultural Organisation FAO
Project Dates:
March 2003
- May 2004
Project objectives:
A review was provided of the reasons for success and failure in human capacity development programmes, both within and outside the fisheries sector. Recent thinking on concepts such as the eco-systems approach and the SLA was reviewed to consider new skill-sets now felt necessary for effective human capacity development in fisheries, and a strategic framework for human capacity development was provided.
Poseidon services provided:
Innovative forms of delivery mechanisms were suggested as being more appropriate than traditional classroom-based training. Approaches were made to institutions and organizations potentially interested in being involved with a new strategy for human capacity development. The special research needs of small-scale fisheries were also considered as part of the study.
