This report is an output of a World Bank study whose aim is to provide guidance to developing coastal countries in identifying the means to secure optimal, equitable, and sustainable returns from foreign fishing arrangements, or FFAs, particularly ensuring that they are underpinned by effective national management systems.
... Vea más + It also seeks to encourage DWF or flag states to adopt responsible policies and practices with regard to the behavior and activities of their fleets. The primary aims of the report are as follows: to identify how coastal states might benefit from international trade in fishing services; to consider the conditions necessary for such benefits to be sustained and to increase further in the future; and to discuss the implications for different stakeholders, especially in the coastal state. The report centers on an analytical review of economic and legal principles supported by empirical casework to elucidate actual and potential cost and benefit flows associated with FFAs. It attempts to identify a set of relevant principles, particularly learning from case examples of best practice, which could inform the development of guidelines for future FFAs in developing country fisheries. To explore these issues, the report adopts a trade in fishing services (TIFS) framework. Particular emphasis is placed on harvesting services, although the post-harvest value chain and processing aspects are also recognized as crucial.

The Ministry of Forests, Fisheries and Sustainable Development (MFFSD) with fiduciary assistance from Protected Areas Conservation Trust (PACT) as the National Implementing Entity (NIE) and the World Bank as Multilateral Implementing Entity (MIE), proposes to implement the Marine Conservation and Climate Change Adaptation Project (MCCAP) in the coastal areas of Belize.
... Vea más + The objective of the proposed MCCAP is to implement priority ecosystem-based marine conservation and climate adaptation measures to strengthen the climate resilience of the Belize Barrier Reef System and its productive marine resources. Given the role of the World Bank as the MIE and the potential impact of the project on Belizes marine environment, the application of relevant safeguard policies is required during the implementation of the project especially in relation to Natural Habitats. This Environmental Management Framework (EMF) allows PACT and the MFFSD to guide, steer, advise, monitor and supervise key environmental considerations related to the MCCAP. The EMF aims at covering all issues of importance for different types of eligible sub-projects during all stages of the project cycle. Consequently, as need be, the EMF will be revised and adjusted to cover any lessons learnt or emerging aspects during project implementation; by its nature, it is meant to be a living document subject to continuous improvement. All changes in the EMF are subject to approval by the World Bank. The EMF is intended to be used by PACT, MFFSD and the Fisheries Department and all concerned with, and in any way an active participant within, the MCCAP in Belize. The preparation of the EMF included engagement with key stakeholders. The report of the consultation with stakeholders is included at Annex 1. All other players directly involved in the execution of any subprojects within the MCCAP will be made aware of the key EMF contents before embarking on any implementation activity. The EMF must be used in all subprojects that PACT and MFFSD undertake under the MCCAP in order to improve their environmental management during the project cycle.

The objective of the Forest Conservation and Sustainability in the Heart of the Colombian Amazon Project for Colombia is to improve governance and promote sustainable land use activities in order to reduce deforestation and conserve biodiversity in the project area.
... Vea más + The main potential risks perceived by the indigenous peoples present include: 1) The management zoning of enlarged areas of PNN Chiribiquete could eventually generate unwanted contacts with less known tribes, thus violating their right to privacy and to not be contacted. This comes under the heading of Land and environmental rights. 2) According to the perception of indigenous peoples, expanding the PNN can involve the loss in the indigenous ancestral territory access. This is territorial and environmental rights. 3) Infringement access, use, enjoyment and control of territories considered ancestral and natural resources. This also is also under the category territorial and environmental rights. 4) Perception of a breach of indigenous autonomy in government and administration of the territory. This falls under the category of right to self-determination and governance. 5) Indigenous perception about the violation of rights associated with ancestral knowledge and cultural values. This is the right to recognition and respect for traditional knowledge. A set of lines of mitigation actions has been proffered that not only guarantees respect for the rights of indigenous peoples, but promotes their collective rights from fundamental components of the protection and territorial consolidation, recognition and promotion of indigenous governments and their organizational processes within the framework of the right to self-determination and respect and promotion of cultural values.
