SSF-Gender Implementing gender aspects within SSF Guidelines and the protocol to the Caribbea Community Common Fisheries Policy (CCCFP) for securing SSF
SSF-GeneroBrief Description:The project is aimed to provide more in-depth knowledge of gender in fisheries to inform the implementation of the SSF Guidelines, the CCCFP SSF Protocol, and to support FAO\'s Blue Growth initiative in various projects. Two main outputs are expected. The first is looking at communicating with policy making and policy advisors: Support the evidence-based and advocacy-oriented policy influence of project partners and facilitate planning of the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA), 2022. Among the main activities are the selection of policy champions, and the testing of policy communication in about 3 countries, and the support planning for Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2022. The second will inform mainstreaming about gender analysis through using experiences and a study of gender in fisheries in CRFM countries to achieve both deeper and wider coverage linked especially to SDG 5 and SDG 14. The collection and use of sex disaggregated data and information will be supported and promoted as a good practice beyond the necessity in some projects.El proyecto tiene como objetivo proporcionar un conocimiento más profundo del componente de género en la pesca para informar acerca de la implementación de las Directrices PPE, el Protocolo PPE del CCCFP y para apoyar la iniciativa Crecimiento Azul de la FAO.
