SSF Guidelines objectivesThe role of the SSF Guidelines

Each region and country

will need to identify which

topics are priorities and

SSF Guidelines

implementation may look

different from one place to

another

Set out principles and

guidance for sustainable SSF

development and for

enhancing their contribution

to food security and poverty

eradication

Putting the principles of the SSF Guidelinesinto practice:

the case of the Mediterraneanand the Black Sea

Some key questions

Panel question No 1

Are there examples of policy and legal frameworks that specifically consider

small-scale fisheries and that would facilitate/hinder SSF Guidelines

implementation?

SSF Guidelines take a holistic perspective on SSF and their needs and

implementation has to be cross-sectoraland involve government agencies

and partners also outside the fisheries sector itself

Policy and legal frameworks national or regional may need to be

reviewed to allow for addressing and integrating all the different

dimensions of the SSF Guidelines: governance of tenure and resource

management; social development, employment and decent work; value

chains; postharvest and trade; gender equality; and disaster risks and

climate change

Panel question No 2

Who are the main stakeholder groups that need to be

involved in the SSF Guidelines implementation to ensure

success?

Small-scale fishers and fish workers need to be directly

involved in the governance and development of small-

scale fisheries

But other stakeholder groups(government agencies,

institutions, civil society, private sector and other actors)

have also very important roles to play

Panel question No 3

What institutional structuresexist and what is missing to allow for

the SSF Guidelines implementation, considering the need for

effective stakeholder participation, cross-sectoralcollaboration,

gender equality etc.?

The appropriate institutional structuresneed to be in place to

allow for

Effective stakeholder participation, including also women and

the postharvest sector

Cross-sectoral linkages

Appropriate fisheries stakeholder organisations are needed at

different levels

Panel question No 4

What are the key entry pointsfor the SSF Guidelines

implementation and what would be the first practical steps

towards implementation according to priorities and taking

current circumstances into account?

Entry points can be different in different local, national

and regional circumstances

Entry points can be found both inside and outside the

fisheries sector

Panel question No 5

What kind of interactions and collaboration with other

initiatives would be required or desired and how can

coherence among related initiatives (in the fisheries and

other sectors) be ensured?

Interactions and collaboration with other initiativeswill be

needed to ensure both actions directly addressing the

needs of small-scale fisheries and mainstreaming of SSF

Guidelines principles and provisions more broadly
