Sao Tome Principe Financing Fisheries

FISH4ACP is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) aimed at making fisheries and aquaculture value chains in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific more productive and sustainable. FISH4ACP is implemented by FAO with funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

In Sao Tome and Principe, FISH4ACP works to make the coastal pelagics value chain more profitable and sustainable. Many of FISH4ACP’s activities align with the goals of the new management plan, including its support to professionalize stakeholders in the fisheries sector, strengthen catch data collection and analysis, improve fish handling and food safety as well as to reinforce monitoring control and surveillance.
