Project Components: The project has two components: populationand health, and communitydevelopment. The populationand health componentwill build upon existingsuccessful pilot programs for self-managementand cost recovery to establishservices capable of ensuring cost-effectiveand sustainableprovision of comprehensiveand good quality health care, includingFamily Planning (FP) and AIDS control services. To that end, the componentwill: (i) strengthenthe capacitiesof the three health regions to plan, implement,administer, and supervisehealth care services, in part through improving and expandingthe training of district health personnel; (ii) equip and rehabilitate two regionalhospitals and a number of health centers; and (iii) promotefamily planning and AIDS control services. In the second componentof the project, complementary communitydevelopment activities as well as activitiesto encouragesustainable economicdevelopment would be supportedthrough a CommunityDevelopment SupportFund (CDSF). While demand driven, the CDSF would focus primarily on: training of communitiesand groups in micro-projectdevelopment, management, and implementation;rehabilitation of social infrastructure(especially primary schools, water supply, and health posts); activitiesto promotethe well-beingand development of women; and incomegenerating activities. - iii - Benefits and Risks: The project is expectedto enhancethe developmentof human resourcesby improving the health, education,and income status

However, the project will only focus on three of the four islands, excluding Maoré from the project area. Comoros is a small island developing state (SIDS) with a population of ~8000 and is one of the most densely populated countries in Africa. Being a SIDS, the Comoros is characterised by limited resources and poor economic resilience. The Comorian population is predominantly dependent upon subsistence livelihoods based on traditional crops and reliant upon natural resources. Existing land use practices connected to natural resource management are poorly managed resulting in food and water insecurity. Furthermore, because of its geographical position and climatic factors, the Comoros is vulnerable to natural disasters such as tropical storms, floods, rising sea level, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landslides.

  • Coelacanth Population, Conservation and Fishery Activity at Grande Comore, West Indian Ocean
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 166: 231-236.1998 Published May 28 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Coelacanth population, conservation and fishery activity at Grande Comore, West Indian Ocean Raphael plantell*, Hans ~ricke~,Karen ~issrnann~ 'Centre d'Oceanologie de Marseille, Station Marine d'Endounie. Rue de la Batterie des Lions, F-13007 Marseille, France 2Max-Planck-Institut fiir Verhaltensphysiologie. D-82319 Seewiesen. Germany ABSTRACT: The only known population of coelacanths, in the Comores, western Indian Ocean, is endangered by human predabon. Historical catch data from Grande Comore reveal that annual catch rates increased steadily from 1954 until the 1970s. This trend was temporarily interrupted due to an international policy introducing motorized boats and promoting offshore fishing techniques. Coela- canths are only caught from traditional unmotorized outrigger canoes as an incidental by-catch of deep water line fishing. A complete survey of all motorized and unmotorized vessels in 1995 at Grande Comore in comparison to earlier years indicated that a recent decreased use of motors and increase of unmotorized canoe fishing has led to an increase in coelacanth catches. Conservation measures and strategies for reducing the fishing pressure exerted on coelacanths are discussed. The southivest coast of Grande Comore should be designated as a nature reserve and protected area where immediate pro- tection measures should be taken, an opinion wh~chis supported by Comonan authorities. KEY WORDS: Coelacanth . Laiirneria . Comoro Islands - Conservation measurements INTRODUCTION are hooked with deep water lines close to the shore at depths down to 800 m (Millot et al. 1972, Stobbs & Bru- The threatened survival of the only living actinistian ton 1991).
