Training workshop: Exploring SDG 14.b and its proposed indicator 14.b.1

The workshop brought together 17 external participants representing governments, regional organizations and small-scale fisheries civil society organizations (CSO), as well as FAO staff. The workshop used several different types of sessions to reach the expected results, which were to create awareness of SDG 14.b and its indicator 14.b.1, explore the methodology for reporting on the indicator and to identify related capacity development needs. In addition to FAO presentations introducing key concepts, there were three country presentations (Tonga, Côte d’Ivoire and Bangladesh), two regional organization presentations (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean and Central American Fisheries and Aquaculture Organization) and one joint presentation by small-scale fisheries CSOs (World Forum of Fish Harvesters and Fish Workers, World Forum of Fisher Peoples and International Collective in Support of Fishworkers). In smaller groups, the participants explored the FAO SDG 14b e-learning course and discussed key concepts and issues that are important for achieving SDG 14.b.
