Senegal: Tooling Up
International frameworks like ILO’s Convention 188 and SSF Guidelines offer valuable tools for protecting the rights of Africa’s small-scale fishers.
The small-scale fisheries (SSF) sub-sector provides employment and food security to over 10 million people in Africa’s coastal communities. The COVID-19 pandemic raised new challenges, exacerbating precarious working conditions. It is crucial to guarantee decent working conditions for all players in the sector, including small-scale fishers in the informal sector.
