FAO is proposing several tools in support of the development of capacity of FAO Members in the production of fisheries statistics. Deployment of IT solutions goes with review and streamlining of statistical methodologies, especially in the monitoring of small-scale fisheries with stratified sampling approach.
Depending on national capacities, the innovative new web based NFI platform Calipseo can be setup or the simpler OpenArtFish application can be installed.
Calipseo is an open-source web application for national fisheries information systems to manage administrative data, collect fisheries dependent data, store all data in a secured way, compute collected data into statistical indicators, and exchange / disseminate statistics for analysis.

More on the Calipseo with the recent webinar on the platform already deployed in Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname and Grenada: click here for the presentation.
