The process of the National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF), initiated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), proposes and describes various stages, steps, outputs and tools for developing and implementing an NPOA-SSF in a systematic and participatory way. FAO has now released a self-paced free online course to learn about the stages and steps for initiating, developing and implementing the NPOA-SSF process and the cross-cutting tools and guidance documents available to support the NPOA-SSF process.
The development of NPOA-SSF is intended to assist in the implementation of the SSF Guidelines. This course is aimed at improving the accessibility to the NPOA-SSF process, thus facilitating the development of an NPOA-SSF by national governments.
This course is designed for mid-level managers responsible for developing and implementing policy on small-scall fisheries, as well as those implementing relevant projects.
During the course you will learn about:
The contributions of small-scale fisheries to sustainable development.
This course offers certification. You will get your digital badge upon passing a final exam after completing the course and achieving a grade of at least 75%.
