of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) and FAO now
provides support to their implementation through two global SSF
projects: (i) the Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism (FMM) âImplementing
the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines for gender equitable and climate
resilient food systems and livelihoodsâ sub-programme (FMM/GLO/155/MUL)
and (ii) âCreating an enabling environment for securing sustainable
small-scale fisheriesâ (GCP/GLO/965/SWE). The projects support
activities at global, regional and national levels. The United Republic
of Tanzania (URT) is one the countries where both the small-scale
fisheries projects have activities using participatory approaches to
plan and implement priority activities within the framework of the SSF
Guidelines.
