All the chapters are relevant and highly applicable to SSF Guideline. However, I think the 5 most relevant topics chapters are Chapter 1, 5, 7, 9 and 11. These chapters covers all activities of small-scale fisheries management including climate change, gender equality, protection of tenure right, fisheries governance and comanagement.
also, I think the progress should be measured from the local geograhical scale. That is why participatory monitoring will be a good tool to assess the progress. Often, many data are lost not reported at the national level, couple with the fact that Fisher folks are marginalised, their interest may not be well represented at the national level.
