Synopsis (short abstract) The Regional Capacity Building Workshop to Empower African Women and Youth on the use of the FAO-Thiaroye Fish Processing Technique (FTT) aimed to build the capacity of African women and youth on food safety, fish post-harvest losses, fish handling and processing with a focus on the use of the FTT. The meeting included: six key presentations; working group discussions on the key lessons learned and the challenges related to the adoption of the FTT; and practical training sessions on FTT use and maintenance. The sessions also provided recommendations for future actions needed to promote and support the adoption of the FTT, initially but not exclusively in the countries represented at the workshop. L'Atelier Régional de Renforcement des Capacités des Femmes et des Jeunes Africains sur la Technique FAO-Thiaroye de Transformation du Poisson (FTT) avait pour objectif de renforcer les capacités des femmes et des jeunes africains en matière de sécurité sanitaire du poisson et des produits aquacoles, de réduction des pertes après capture et de manipulation et de transformation du poisson, en mettant l'accent sur l'utilisation de la technique FTT. La réunion s’est déroulée autour de six présentations principales, de séances de travail en petits groupes sur les principaux enseignements tirés et les défis liés à l'adoption de la technique FTT, ainsi que d’une formation pratique sur l’utilisation et l’entretien des fours. Les sessions de travail ont également fourni des recommandations en matière d’actions à prendre pour promouvoir et soutenir l’introduction du FTT notamment, dans les pays représentés à l'atelier.

    Grâce à ses composantes que sont le fourneau, la plaque de collecte de graisse, le système indirect de générateur de fumée et le distributeur d’air, la technique FAO-Thiaroye de transformation de poisson (FTT-Thiaroye), principal sujet de ce guide méthodologique renforce tout en les améliorant, les fonctions des techniques de fumage de poisson existantes en pêches artisanales. Des produits finis de meilleure qualité, d’un meilleur rendement et remplissant les conditions requises pour des aliment s sains sont générés, si l’on se (i) conforme à l’ingénierie technique et sanitaire des installations devant abriter le FTT, (ii) suit les instructions données relatives à sa conception, sa construction et l’utilisation des équipements assemblés, (iii) et applique les bonnes pratiques d’hygiène et de fabrication. En effet, intégrant les codes d’usage pertinents définis par le Codex Alimentarius (CAC/RCP 68-2009), le FTT-Thiaroye a le mérite particulier de relever le défi des hydrocarbures aromat iques polycycliques (HAPs). En outre, il réduit la consommation de combustible ainsi que l’exposition des opérateurs de pêche à la fumée et à la chaleur. Après une vue d’ensemble des avantages comparatifs du FTT-Thiaroye, les informations détaillées sur les différentes composantes/ dispositifs, son approvisionnement en combustible, son utilisation, son fonctionnement et sa maintenance, sont fournies à tout agent de développement, ou toute autre personne ou entité intéressée.

    The FAO-Thiaroye Processing Technique (FTT) was introduced in Ghana in 2014 following an earlier initiative by FAO, in collaboration with the Centre National de Formation des Techniciens de Pêche et de l’Aquaculture (National Training Centre for Fisheries and Aquaculture Technicians, CNFTPA) in Senegal, to reduce post-harvest losses in small-scale fisheries and support the production of healthy fishery products. Since its introduction to Ghana, and with continuous collaboration from the Fisheries Commission of Ghana, FAO has constructed or provided assistance for the construction of FTT units for 13 fish processor groups and 15 individuals in four regions of Ghana – Greater Accra, Central, Volta, Western and Western North. A gap analysis was undertaken to understand the extent of, and the barriers to, the adoption, development, introduction and dissemination of the FTT in Ghana. The assessment combined both desk survey and field study of some traditional and FTT smoking facilities. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the study. The adoption of the FTT was determined and data from field surveys was analysed using simple graphs. From the results of the cost–benefit analysis, it was deduced that the FTT is better placed and superior to the Chorkor kilns in terms of economic profitability in ensuring the well-being of both processor and consumer; and financial profitability and return on investment. With the above inferences from the findings and lessons learned from visits to some of the FTT processing facilities, key recommendations were made and it is anticipated that these will enable future investments and the adoption and wider use of the FTT by more processors.

    Owing to its devices that are the ember furnace, the fat collection tray, the indirect smoke generator system and the hot air distributor, the FAO-Thiaroye processing technique (FTT-Thiaroye), focus of this methodological guide, strengthens the functions of existing improved smoking techniques in small-scale fisheries. Superior and consistent quality and safe products, with a good value for money, and meeting food safety requirements are achieved in (i) complying with technical and sanitary engi neering of the facilities to harbor it, (ii) following the instructions provided herewith regarding the design, construction and use of the assembled equipment, (iii) and applying good hygienic and good manufacturing practices. Indeed, the FTT-Thiaroye has the particular merit of overcoming the challenge linked to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) given its feature which mainstreams the relevant code of practice of the Codex Alimentarius (CAC/RCP 68-2009). It further curbs the fuel con sumption while reducing the exposure of the fish processor to the smoke and heat. After a general overview of the comparative advantages of the FTT-Thiaroye, detailed information are provided to any development practitioner or any interested person or entity on the different components/devices, the supply in fuel, how to use and operate the FTTThiaroye, and how to care and maintain it.
