Background
In the context of Chapter 5 of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines), which deals with governance of tenure and resource management and co-management, an approach promoting decentralization and participation is recommended to achieve equitable governance outcomes and sustainable development.
Co-management is being implemented in various ways in many places, and there is an increasing body of experiences and lessons learnt. However, there is a lack of more systematic approaches to evaluating co-management performance and impact. The guidebook which is being developed by FAO aims at filling in the gap of a systematic evaluation approach.
