The Expert Consultation was convened in order to elaborate guidelines on the policies and actions needed to increase the contribution of small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation and food security. The Consultation noted that there is little reference to poverty alleviation and insufficient coverage of small-scale fisheries in the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, and recommended the development of a new article on "Small-scale Fisheries and Povery Alleviation."
The issue of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in world fisheries is of serious and increasing concern. This document contains the report and papers presented a meeting of experts held in May 2000, which was organised by the Government of Australia in co-operation with the FAO. The preliminary draft international plan of action elaborated by the experts is appended to the report of the Consultation.
This Expert Consultation took place in Accra, Ghana, 2001 and reviewed management approaches employed in the small-scale fisheries in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. It found that government institutional arrangements/management outnumbered the traditional and co-management systems. In general though, most countries operate a combination of management practices. The consultation found co-management systems seemed the most viable option for this region, and that therefore the FAO should issue guidelines for the greater development and introduction of co-management.
The need for and use of socio-economic information in fisheries management and development planning are discussed and the difficulties in acquiring such information are reviewed. The report concludes that the choice of the relevant kinds of socio-economic data and of the appropriate approaches to their acquisition will largely depend on the varied development and management decisions faced by fishery administrators and the specific problems and conditions of the fishery or fisheries under consideration. An indicative and tentative list of information requirements is appended and recommendations made regarding desirable follow-up action.
Recommendations made include the need: for a background study and consultation on the normative framework for fish trade and food security; for the preparation of technical guidelines on the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), fish trade and food security; and better training to improve capacity of policy makers and technical personnel on international issues dealing with fish trade and food security.

At its thirty-second session, in July 2016, the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) underlined the importance of trade in fisheries services and welcomed the work of the FAO on conducting a literature review on the subject. In September 2017, during its sixteenth session, the FAO Sub-Committee on Fish Trade (COFI:FT) was invited to note the literature review and to make recommendations for future work on the topic. On this occasion, the Sub-Committee agreed to hold an expert consultation on trade in fisheries services that would allow a more detailed analysis, within a clear scope. This report is the result of the first Expert Consultation on Trade in Fisheries Services. The Expert Consultation was convened by FAO with the financial support of the Government of Sweden, in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 20 to 22 March 2018. The Expert Consultation was tasked to deliberate in a definition on trade in fisheries services, possible classification and methodologies for assessing its extension and impact. In addition, the Expert Consultation also suggested follow-up developments by FAO to enhance the work of the Organization.
