  • Co-Management in Continental Fishing in Benin: the Case of Lake Nokoue
    CO-MANAGEMENT IN CONTINENTAL FISHING IN BENIN: THE CASE OF LAKE NOKOUE CYRIAQUE ATTI – MAMA Hydraulic Department, Cotonou-Benin ABSTRACT Introduction This case study of co-management in Lake Nokoue in Benin comprises an introduction and 10 points based on the institutional analysis research framework. The introduction involves a brief historic recall of case studies, the reasons for the case study, and the methodology used. The 10 points which constitute the framework of the document are subdivided into three parts. The first part recalls the physical, biological and technical features of Lake Nokoue as well as socioeconomic and sociocultural context and fishing markets. The second part examines the institutional structures, organizational internal and external put in place for co-management, and the interactions between partners in a sociopolitical and natural environment in Benin. Finally, the last part measures the impact of the co-management system put in place in examining the efficiency, equity and durability of the system. The conclusion comes back to the prominent points of the study and indicates some identifiable tracks. Methodology The study was carried out in six successive and interdependent phases: the documentation, development and the test of the questionnaire, the sampling and the choice of the investigators and informants, field work, the computerized counting and release of results and finally the reporting. Data compilation was essentially carried out using two tools: semi-structured interviews with an upkeep guide and structured interviews with the use of questionnaires. Documentation The documentation is limited and centered on the subject of the study. It is especially based on the document presented and discussed in November 1998 during a workshop seminar in Maputo (Mozambique) and whose objective was to favor standardization and comparison of the results of the case studies.

Benin - Belhabib and Pauly 1 BENIN’S FISHERIES: A CATCH RECONSTRUCTION, 1950-2010 Dyhia Belhabib and Daniel Pauly Sea Around Us, Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada d.belhabib @fisheries.ubc.ca; d.pauly @fisheries.ubc.ca ABSTRACT Total marine fisheries catches from the Exclusive Economic Zone of Benin and its coastal lagoons were estimated between 1950 and 2010. The reconstruction considered artisanal and industrial sectors and their discards, subsistence fisheries from the marine and lagoon waters including those generated by women for the first time. Small-scale catch estimates were obtained using catch per unit of effort and per capita catch estimates alongside with the number of fishers and the number of pirogues, while industrial catches were estimated by country using the number of industrial vessels and their catch per unit of effort. Total catches were estimated at 4.0 million t between 1950 and 2010 of which 3.9 million t were domestic and mainly from lagoon areas compared to 1.7 million t of catch data supplied to the FAO. Catches showed a decreasing pattern in contrast to the increase observed in official data, which puts in jeopardy the livelihoods of the many fishers relying solely on fisheries.

H. ADJE Fisheries and Oceans Research Institute of Benin (IRHOB / CBRSI / MESRS) Moussa GIBIGAYE, Laboratory of Rural Geography and Agricultural Expertise (LaGREA) Placid CLEDJO Pierre PAGNEY Laboratory, Climate, Water, Ecosystem and Development (LACEEDE) Brice A. H. TENTE Laboratory of Biogeography and Environmental Expertise (LABEE) ABSTRACT In the Benin context where the fishing potential of marine and continental waters has reached its maximum exploitation level, the present work proposes to contribute to the establishment of a sustainable management through the diagnosis of the evils which undermine the fishing Benign. To achieve this, several techniques and tools for data collection and analysis were used. The documentary review and the analysis of a series of fishery data made it possible to know the current situation of the country's fish production. An inventory, characterized by an annual non- growing fishery production, stagnated around 40,000 tons from 1997 to today. At the same time, Benin's demand for fish has continued to increase, as evidenced by the total import of fish from 20,000 tonnes to 160,000 tonnes a year between 1995 and 2015. Surveys carried out along the Beninese coast and on some continental water bodies in southern Benin (Sô and Ouémé) have revealed malfunctions in fishing and in its management by fishing. administration. These dysfunctions have for name, the massive use of gear and practices of fishing-unsustainable and the absence of a follow-up of the application of the regulations of the fishing activities in the Republic of Benin Keywords: Halieutic potential; fishing practices-unsustainable; fisheries 1.

  • Influencing Policies and Practice for Improved Food and Nutrition Security
    Influencing policies and practice for improved food and nutrition security Research outcomes for policy formulation and implementation Article in the Outcomes Synthesis Series of the NWO-WOTRO Food & Business Research programme, July 2020 By Dr Ellen Lammers and Daniëlle de Winter 1 The Food & Business Research programme Food & Business Research aims at addressing persistent food and nutrition security challenges in low and middle income countries. It focuses on the urgent and growing need for adequate knowledge and solutions for regional and local problems related to food security. Food & Business Research has supported 75 research projects under two funding instruments: the Food & Business Global Challenges Programme (GCP) and the Food & Business Applied Research Fund (ARF). Both are part of the Food & Business Knowledge Agenda of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA). The objective of GCP is to promote research-based advanced understanding of emerging key issues in global and regional food security and their impact on local food security and the role of private sector development. The objective of ARF is to promote research-supported innovations that contribute to food security and private sector development in the partner countries of Dutch development cooperation. Food & Business Research is funded jointly by the MoFA and NWO-WOTRO and is managed by NWO-WOTRO. Research for Impact NWO-WOTRO Science for Global Development aims to support researchers in increasing the societal and policy impact of their research projects. NWO defines societal impact of research as ‘the contribution that innovative research makes to understand and solve global issues, with a focus on sustainable development and poverty reduction’.1 NWO-WOTRO developed its ‘Research for Impact’ approach2 starting from the realisation that research insights and innovations do not automatically lead to changes in society.
