Literacy and education in fishing communities
9 May 2006 -- Improvements will boost livelihoods and environmental
conservation.
More accessible and better oriented literacy and
education programmes for fishing communities will improve their
livelihoods while diversifying their income-generating activities,
according to a new report prepared by FAO.
The report will be
presented on May 10 by Professor Bryan Maddox from the University of
East Anglia. It is based on field work carried out mainly by the
Sustainable Fisheries Livelihoods Programme, a partnership between FAO,
the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom
(DFID) and 25 countries in West and Central Africa (http://www.sflp.org/).
