Statement: Join Forces for African SSF
The year 2022 has been declared by the United Nations as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture. In Africa, artisanal fisheries employ more than ten million men and women, and feed more than 200 million Africans. African fisheries, 75 per cent of which are artisanal, are the largest sector of the blue economy in Africa, whether in terms of contribution to food security, employment or household income generation.
