Small-scale fisheries make an important contribution to nutrition, food security, sustainable livelihoods and poverty alleviation, especially in developing countries. Since 2015 Norway has been supporting FAO's implementation of the "Voluntary guidelines for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries in the context of food security and poverty eradication". Now discussions are underway between Norway and FAO that could result in support to yet another project related to the small-scale sector; "Enhancing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to food security and sustainable livelihoods through better policies, strategies and initiatives". Possible project components include raising awareness and policy support, strengthening the science-policy interface and empowering stakeholders.
