This paper briefly assesses possibilities for TCDC (Technical Cooperation Among Developing Countries) in the fisheries sector of countries in the Bay of Bengal region. It also outlines proposals for TCDC activities in the region, and gives a fairly detailed description of institutions in the region through which TCDC may be implemented. The paper examines the history of the TCDC concept and summarises past and current TCDC activities of the Bay of Bengal Programme. It assesses the interest and willingness of governments in TCDC, and describes funding and administrative arrangements. The paper was prepared by Mr. E. H. Nichols, till recently Director of Agriculture and Fisheries in Hong Kong, who was a consultant to the Bay of Bengal Programme for a study on TCDC. The paper was prepared after a four-week tour of the Bay of Bengal region (October 4 to November 2, 1980), when the consultant met fisheries experts and officials of the BOBP’s member countries, and held discussions with them on TCDC. The views expressed in the paper are those of the consultant and do not necessarily reflect the views of the FAO or the BOBP. |
