Agreement Number:
7475043 P014375001
Agreement Value:
$3,600,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 17, 2026 - Dec 31, 2029
Description:
Strengthening Small-Scale Fisheries in the Pacific Islands (Phase II) supports Samoa, Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu to strengthen inclusive, sustainable, and climate-resilient coastal fisheries. Delivered by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in close collaboration with national fisheries authorities, the project combines strong fiduciary management with targeted technical assistance. Building on proven results from Phase I, the project addresses persistent gaps in livelihoods, data, and climate preparedness by promoting inclusive governance, improving post-harvest practices, and strengthening early-warning and anticipatory action. Gender equality is a central focus, with dedicated efforts to enhance women’s leadership, expand access to services, markets, and social protection, and support more diversified and resilient livelihoods for coastal communities facing growing climate and economic pressures.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) strengthened, gender-responsive governance and community-based management of small-scale coastal fisheries that improve sustainability and equitable decision-making in participating Pacific Island countries; (2) improved fisheries value-chain performance through enhanced post-harvest practices, product quality, and market access, particularly benefitting women engaged in processing and marketing; and (3) enhanced climate-resilient livelihoods and food security for coastal communities, especially women and vulnerable households, through strengthened early-warning systems, anticipatory action, and more inclusive, data-driven fisheries policies.
