Exchange and Training programmes have been
undertaken to build up and strengthen
fishworker organizations, and to transfer fishing
and fish processing technologies. ICSF has facilitated, for
instance, the transfer of the trammel net fishing
technique from India to Senegal. It has also facilitated
the transfer of fish processing technology from Ghana
to Senegal.
Exchange programmes have contributed to building up
South-South and South-North solidarity between
fishworker organizations in countries like India, Chile,
the Philippines, Taiwan, Senegal, Canada and France.
These have also helped fishers of Southern countries to
draw support from the North in their campaigns
against inequitable aspects of international agreements in
fisheries and joint ventures.
ICSF has trained artisanal and small-scale fishworker
organizations in the use of electronic means for
effective communication and networking. Training
programmes on leadership and social analysis have also
been conducted for animators in fishing communities
of the South.
A study on Problems and Prospects of Artisanal Fish Trade in West
Africa was undertaken, which led to the Workshop on
Problems and Prospects for Developing Artisanal Fish Trade in
West Africa, from 30 May to
1 June 2001, followed by the West African Fair for
Artisanally Processed Fish on 2 and 3 June 2001 at Dakar,
Senegal.
