The intervention logic is to increase RGC's fiscal space to support the implementation of reforms in the fisheries sector, combined with complementary support to provide targeted technical assistance and capacity development to the different actors involved in the management and the development of the sector. To do so, this complementary support will target the sector's main actors, which are: (1) the central and sub-national fisheries administration, responsible for designing the policy and management framework, enforcing application of the law and regulations, ensuring the conservation of major sites and habitats and monitoring the sector development; (3) community organisations that are expected to play an increasing role in the co-management of the inland and coastal fisheries resources, and in particular engage in conservation, protection and surveillance activities, and; (4) the private sector involved, with the communities, in post-harvest operations. It will also support the establishment of effective mechanisms to facilitate inter-sectoral coordination and foster harmonious development, and empowerment of women within community organizations and fisheries MSMEs.
