The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) has made a short overview film about the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) workshops held in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe. The IYAFA workshops, organized by ICSF collaboratively with partner organizations in the four regions, revolved around discussions on the SSF Guidelines implementation and monitoring and specifically focused on themes of tenure rights, social development, gender and women in fisheries, and necessary governance transitions.
The workshops were attended by more than 200 persons from 52 countries. The workshops were intended to shape inspiring narratives for the future of small-scale fisheries, emphasizing the importance of desirable and equitable futures. The workshops proved to be a valuable platform for fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge and addressing key issues in small-scale fisheries. The outcomes and recommendations generated during the workshops contribute to the ongoing efforts towards sustainable practices in the regions.
