| Summary: | This report is the result of a technical
and economic assessment of the fisheries sector in Cape
Verde. While originally focusing particularly on the
long-term development and governance strategy of the sector,
the authors, faced with the increasingly apparent need for
fundamental restructuring of the sector, redirected their
attention to what has become an assessment of how to create
a viable fishing sector that can effectively reach realistic
stakeholder objectives. The draft report was discussed with
representatives of the public and private sectors in Cape
Verde September 19 and 20, 2007. The findings and
recommendations of the workshop have been summarized in
separate textboxes in the report; the complete findings have
been attached as annex C. This report suggests that a
strategy supporting a combination of short-term actions is
needed to create a sector - using gradually decreasing
public and donor funding - that would provide: a) fishermen
and other stakeholders a long-term sustainable source of raw
material, b) equitable income growth and employment
prospects, and c) provide the country with a dependable
source of protein for human consumption. |
