| ABSTRACT |
| While it is widely acknowledged that the availability of institutional credit is an important pre-condition for the further development of the small-scale fisheries sector of many developing countries, the lack of well-documented information with regard to the reasons for the success or failure of fisheries credit schemes impedes progress in the design and operation of new fisheries credit programmes and revolving loan funds. |
| In order to gain more information in this vital area, the Fishery Industries Division of FAO initiated a series of case studies in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean on successful fishery credit programmes and revolving loan funds. ‘Successful’ was defined by an over-all positive socio-economic impact, the full utilization of credits for their intended purpose, achievement of disbursement targets and satisfactory loan recovery. |
| Each region is represented by two or three case studies, selected on the basis of various institutional and operational circumstances, in order to cover all major settings of fisheries credit operations. |
| The case studies presented in this volume reflect the opinions of their authors who in some cases have been closely associated with the design and implementation of the credit programmes. Some editorial changes have been made to facilitate presentation and comparison, but the substance of the studies and the conclusions reached are those of the authors. |
