Fish Stocks and Aid Flows: Poverty Reduction in Times of Resource Depletion

Aid to fisheries has been part of Swedish and international development cooperation for long. However, knowledge about effects is limited. A new EBA report: ‘Fishing Aid: Mapping and Synthesising Evidence in Support of SDG 14 Fisheries Targets’, summarises what we know.

During the 1990s, fisheries aid shifted character, when support to improved management and organization increasingly came to replace support to increased production. The old Chinese proverb of teaching a man how to fish for him to have food for life, is no longer sufficient. To counter overfishing, as well as illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, has nowadays turned as important.

Is there currently a trade-off between helping small-scale communities to increase their fish catches on the one hand and protecting fish stocks on the other? How can development cooperation best be used to tackle such dilemmas?
