With over 65,000 people directly employed as fishers, and around 500,000 employed along the SSF value chain, Malawi’s small- scale fisheries are not well recognized, despite their vital role in the country’s economy and the sustenance of a majority of rural fishing communities. Furthermore, SSF face a myriad of challenges. In line with the MW2063’s agricultural productivity and commercialisation, Malawi through the Ministry of Natural Resource has embraced the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). The SSF Guidelines offer various precepts for countries to follow in order to strengthen the SSF and deal with the challenges they face. Subsequently, through the Department of Fisheries, Malawi has developed this NPOA-SSF. The NPOA-SSF is an essential and extensive blueprint for Malawi, as it contains solutions to SSF problems. Additionally, it offers programmes for the effective conservation, utilization, and management of fisheries resources for the benefit of future generations. I would like to acknowledge the technical and financial support that was provided by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), to facilitate the development of this NPOA-SSF. Sincere appreciation goes to the National Task Team that comprised of representatives from all SSF stakeholders, FAO-Malawi and the Norwegian Government, for driving the initiative. I also wish to thank everyone who contributed to the formulation of the NPOA-SSF, for their tireless efforts in advancing SSF to spur responsible management of fisheries resources. The responsibility for the plan’s execution and promotion, within Malawi’s borders and beyond, rests with each one of us. It is hoped that the obstacles will be removed with the help of this NPOA-SSF, allowing the SSF to contribute to the economy and people’s livelihoods to the fullest extent possible. Each of us has a role to play to help put the guidelines outlined in the Malawi NPOA-SSF into practice. Michael Usi, PhD Minister of Natural Resources and Climate Change 2 PREFACE The National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF) in Malawi stands as a testament to the nation’s unwavering commitment towards unleashing the potential of its small-scale fishing industry. As a cornerstone of Malawi’s economy and the lifeblood of countless rural fishing communities, the significance of small-scale fisheries cannot be overemphasized. Our efforts to overcome obstacles and usher in a new era of sustainable growth and prosperity are encapsulated in this plan, which is the product of teamwork, commitment, and a shared vision. Malawi’s small-scale fisheries sector has long been crucial in supporting livelihoods in most fishing communities, providing employment to over 65,000 fishermen and supporting an intricate web of nearly half a million individuals along the entire value chain. Yet, despite their pivotal role, these fisheries have often remained unrecognised, their importance underestimated and their challenges under-addressed. This NPOA-SSF signals a transformative shift in our approach, recognizing the imperative desire of safeguarding our fisheries for generations to come. In alignment with Malawi’s national aspirations as outlined in the MW2063 Agenda, the Ministry of Natural Resources has embraced the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). These guidelines, offer us a road map to strengthening our small-scale fisheries and overcoming the challenges we’ll inevitably face. Our dedication to turning principles into actionable plans is reflected in the Department of Fisheries’ careful curation of the NPOA-SSF. The NPOA-SSF stands as an indispensable blueprint, replete with solutions that address the intricate challenges faced by small-scale fisheries. It offers a comprehensive framework for the conservation, utilization, and management of our precious fisheries resources. As we embrace this roadmap, we acknowledge that the responsibility for executing and championing this plan extends to each one of us, transcending geographical boundaries and fostering a spirit of collective action. We believe that the NPOA- SSF’s guiding principles will help remove the obstacles that have hampered development of our small-scale fisheries for far too long. This plan holds the potential to unlock the full economic potential of our fisheries, empowering the lives of our citizens and uplifting the prosperity of our nation. The NPOA-SSF beckons us all to embrace our roles as stewards of this invaluable resource, champions of sustainable practices, and architects of a brighter future. The NPOA-SSF is a testament to our shared commitment, an embodiment of our collective wisdom, and a beacon that guides us towards a future where our small-scale fisheries flourish, and our nation thrives. As we embark on this transformative journey, each one of us is entrusted with the task of translating the principles enshrined within the Malawi NPOA-SSF into tangible action plans that will shape the destiny of our fisheries and the well-being of our people. Implementation of this plan will require unwavering effort from all partners and stakeholders identified in this document. I therefore call upon all stakeholders to work together in order to achieve the targets set in this plan. “Together, let us cast our gaze towards a horizon where vibrant small-scale fisheries invigorate our economy, nurture our communities, and leave an indelible legacy for generations yet to come”.

The overall objective of the NPOA-SSF is to facilitate the coordinated implementation of small-scale fisheries development programs in Malawi, leading to improved food security, nutrition, economic contribution as well as poverty alleviation by 2030. The specific objectives include raising awareness of SSF Guidelines, enhancing collaboration, and building capacity in the SSF value chain. The plan adopts a multi-faceted approach, with a focus on several thematic areas to achieve its goals. One key area of emphasis is responsible governance of tenure and sustainable resource management. The plan aims to strengthen SSF governance structures, promote ecosystem-based management, enhance accountability mechanisms, and review outdated policies. Social development, employment, and decent work are also vital aspects of the plan. It seeks to improve access to equitable and inclusive financial and social services for SSF communities, offering alternative income-generating activities, skill development, and structured market systems to enhance livelihoods and create decent employment opportunities for small-scale fishers. Furthermore, the plan addresses value chains, post-harvest, and trade in the fisheries sector. It aims to enhance livelihood options by improving value chains, post-harvest practices, and trade opportunities. Gender equality is an integral part of the plan, with a focus on promoting women’s empowerment in the small-scale fisheries value chain. This involves strengthening reporting mechanisms and creating safe environments for survivors of gender-based violence, enhancing women’s participation in leadership roles, and promoting gender-transformative approaches. Lastly, the plan addresses disaster risk management and climate change. It seeks to enhance institutions and community capacity for climate resilience and disaster risk management through activities such as establishing digital early warning systems, constructing disaster-resilient structures, and promoting climate- smart technologies. By promoting evidence-based programming, collecting fisheries data, conducting research, and fostering informed decision-making, the NPOA-SSF aims to create a sustainable and inclusive small-scale fisheries sector in Malawi. The NPOA-SSF aligns with various international policies and legal instruments, such as the SSF Guidelines, SDGs, UNCLOS, and CEDAW. At the national level, it is coherent with policies like the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy and strategies like Malawi Agenda 2063. Its development involved a consultative approach, engaging various stakeholders, conducting field visits, and prioritizing activities based on consultation outcomes. The National Task Team played a vital role in spearheading the development. 5 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background In 2021, the Malawi government adopted the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the context of Food Security and Poverty alleviation (SSF Guidelines) as a tool for small- scale fisheries development and governance. Prior to their adoption in 2021, the SSF Guidelines were domesticated into the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy (NFAP) of 2016. The NPOA-SSF is in line with the national long-term development plan (Malawi 2063) and its first 10-year Malawi Implementation Plan (MIP-1), as well as the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs). Therefore, NPOA- SSF contributes to these plans and legal frameworks’ call for improved food and nutrition security, poverty eradication and environmental sustainability. The SSF Guidelines were endorsed by the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) in 2014, as an international instrument that is voluntary, global in scope to all types and categories of small-scale fisheries value chains, but with a focus on the needs of developing countries. The SSF Guidelines are aimed at enhancing food security and nutrition amongst small-scale fisherfolks, promoting the contribution of fisherfolks to the global economy, improving the socio-economic situation of fish workers, and achieving sustainable use of fishery resources. The Department of Fisheries in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Climate Change is responsible for the implementation of the SSF Guidelines. In this regard, the Department of Fisheries, with support from FAO has developed the National Plan of Action for the implementation of the SSF Guidelines (NPOA-SSF) in order to facilitate the implementation of SSF Guidelines. As a country-tailored plan, it is based on strategies and actions that were identified as being critically needed to address the plight of SSF in the country. The NPOA-SSF lays the foundation for joint action, outlines strategic approaches, defines major actions, provides guidance on the implementation, monitoring, learning and governing structures and suggests measures to be taken together by various stakeholders in the fisheries sector. The NPOA-SSF has been developed through a consultative process at various levels. The National Task Team visited a number of fishing communities and held numerous meetings with SSF value chain actors as well as community leaders. The results of those consultations provided the evidence for profiling the fisheries, stakeholder mapping, prioritisation the activities and drafting the NPOA-SSF. FAO provides support to their implementation through a global project on implementing the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines for gender equitable and climate resilient food systems and livelihoods FMM/GLO/155/ MUL a Sub-programme under FMM Programme 5 Climate Change and Agriculture. The sub-programme development objective (impact) is to reduce poverty and improve food security and nutrition through more gender-equitable and climate resilient small-scale fisheries livelihoods and food systems. Its outcome statement is that countries adopt policies and support practices in small-scale fisheries value chains and livelihoods that are more sustainable, inclusive and resilient to climate change and contribute to food security and nutrition. The sub-programme will also promote SSF Guidelines implementation in collaboration with the Malawi Government. As part of its activities at the national level, the project supports nine countries - among which Malawi is one – to use participatory approaches to plan and implement priority activities within the framework of the SSF Guidelines. 1.2 Rationale for the Development of the NPOA-SSF The development of the National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF) in Malawi is driven by several key rationales. Firstly, small-scale fisheries (SSF) play a crucial role in Malawi’s food security, nutrition, and poverty eradication efforts. Given the significance of SSF in providing livelihoods and access to nutritious food at household, community, and national levels, the NPOA-SSF aims to leverage the potential of this sector to achieve broader development goals. Secondly, SSF in Malawi face various challenges that threaten their sustainability, including overfishing, inadequate governance, and climate-related risks. Developing the NPOA-SSF is crucial to safeguarding the SSF sector by promoting sustainable fishing practices, enhancing governance structures, and building adaptive capacity to address climate change impacts and disaster risks. Lastly, the development of the NPOA-SSF aligns with regional and global commitments. Malawi is a part of regional and international agreements, such as the SSF Guidelines and other related policies, which emphasize the importance of responsible and inclusive small-scale fisheries development. The NPOA- 6 SSF serves as a framework to fulfil these commitments, fostering collaboration, resource mobilization, and evidence-based programming to support the coordinated implementation of SSF development programs in Malawi. 1.3 Vision The vision for NPOA-SSF in Malawi represents a holistic and forward-looking approach, seeking to create a vibrant, equitable, and sustainable small-scale fisheries sector that benefits fishing communities, conserves fishery resources, and enhances the nation’s food security and prosperity. 1.4 Objectives of NPOA-SSF The overall objective of the NPOA-SSF is to provide a framework that ensure effective contribution of SSF to improved food security, nutrition, economic contribution as well as poverty eradication by 2030; and to support the coordinated implementation of all SSF development programs and activities in Malawi. Specifically, the NPOA-SSF, aims at achieving the following: ● To raise awareness of the SSF Guidelines and policies that govern the SSF sector, and other cross cutting issues in order to catalyse and foster meaningful changes in behaviour and policies. ● To support implementers in the fisheries sector set priorities, coordinate action and track progress. ● To improve food and nutrition security at household, community and national levels. ● To improve collaboration in the implementation of SSF programs. ● To provide a coordinated resource mobilisation process among various stakeholders in Malawi. ● To develop and build capacity of the SSF actors across the respective fisheries value chain nodes. 1.5 The major outcomes of the NPOA-SSF When the plan is fully implemented, it is expected that the following outcomes will be achieved: ● Strengthened SSF governance structures and capacity of small-scale fishers and other actors across fisheries value chain to sustainably manage tenure systems and develop fisheries in Malawi. ● Increased food and nutrition security among SSFs. ● Enhanced safeguarding of rights, participation, and well-being of men, women as well the vulnerable and marginalised groups in the small-scale fisheries value chain. ● Improved evidence-based programming in small scale fisheries through research, monitoring, evaluation, learning, and surveillance. ● Enhanced livelihoods for small-scale fishers and other stakeholders in the SSF value chain through increased decent employment opportunities and income ● Enhanced adaptive capacity of institutions and community structures for climate resilient and disaster risk management in small scale fisheries. 1.6 NPOA-SSF Development Process This section describes how the NPOA-SSF was developed, including the various assessments and consultations that were carried out, as well as the key information that was generated, upon which the Plan of Action is based. The development of NPOA-SSF went through various stages. More details on consultation outcomes are provided in Annex 4. ● Translation, launch and dissemination of SSF Guidelines were done in April 2021 ● Initial consultative workshop for various stakeholders was conducted in June 2021. Following the launch, the Department of Fisheries organized a daylong workshop to initiate the process of establishing a NPOA-SSF to guide implementation of SSF Guidelines recommendations. In order to ensure inclusive and participatory representation, the workshop drew together stakeholders from various sectors, including small-scale fishers, government institutions, academia, the private sector, and other implementing partners. 7 ● A situation analysis of the human rights issues in the small-scale fisheries sector was undertaken from 2021 to 2022. ● A 15-member National Task Team (NTT) was formed in February 2022, consisting of personnel from government institutions responsible for SSF, academia, research institutions, women’s groups, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Specifically, membership of the NTT included representatives of the Malawi Human Rights Resource Centre (MHRRC) Ministry of Gender, Department of Meteorological Services and Climate Change, Department of Nutrition, African Women Fish Processors and Traders Network (AWFISHNET), MwAPATA Institute (an independent policy think tank), Small-scale fishers and traders, Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), Mzuzu University (MZUNI), and Department of Fisheries (Annex 1 shows the details of the membership of the NTT). The establishment of the National Task Team (NTT) in February 2022 marked the commencement of the NPOA-SSF development process. ● The role of the NTT was to spearhead the development of the National Plan of Action for the implementation of the small- scale fisheries Guidelines (SSF Guidelines). ● An orientation workshop for the National Task Team was conducted in May 2022 to impart knowledge to the members, in order for them to facilitate effective contributions of members to the NTT. In addition, a training workshop was organised to review and endorse the composition of the NTT. ● The NTT developed a work plan to guide the development process of the Plan of Action for the implementation of Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) Guidelines. Additionally, the NTT developed and finalized Terms of Reference (ToRs) (ToRs) for engaging a consultant. ● The NTT attended a training program that was conducted by the International Ocean Institute (IOI), specifically to capacitate the NTT, and enhance their expertise and understanding in the development of National Plans of Action (NPOA). The course also included governance, ow SSF governance is located within international legal and policy frameworks, both conventional fisheries agreements and human rights frameworks, and highlights of the importance of responsible governance of tenure. ● Furthermore, a number of field visits were organized for the NTT members to allow the NTT to (i) familiarize themselves with the various issues along the fisheries value chain, (ii) consolidate the list of stakeholders in the value chain, (iii) pre-test some of the data collection tools that were to be used during the stakeholder consultations. The NTT visited Nkhata-bay (all DESC members), Mangochi (Beach Committee members and enforcement division), and Salima (front line worker, BVC and others activities) ● The NTT undertook the following: - Fisheries profile analysis: Through desk review of the scope, in order to determine the characteristics of Malawi’s SSF, including its contribution to national economy, and challenges of the sector faces. - Stakeholder mapping: A comprehensive list of SSF actors was developed and used for in the consultations exercise. - Multi-stakeholder consultations: Stakeholder consultations were done in Nkhata-bay with all DESC members, in Mangochi with Beach Committee members and enforcement division, as well as in Salima with front line workers, BVC and fishing community members. - Review of findings: Qualitative data from the multi stakeholder consultations and feedback sessions were analysed and summarized into issues according to five thematic areas of the SSF Guidelines. - Prioritization of activities: The issues were prioritized, and a list of recommended strategies and activities was produced. - Drafting of the NPOA-SSF. ● The Consultant in collaboration with NTT, finalized the stakeholder consultations, technical drafting and compilation of the NPOA-SSF ● National validation workshop of the NPOA-SSF in July 2023 8 1.7 Policy, Legal and Institutional Framework This section describes the linkages between the NPOA-SSF and overall international, regional and national policies, long, medium-term economic and development plans, commitments as well as the policy and legislative frameworks. It identifies how the NPOA-SSF supports and complements them. 1.7.1 International Policy and Legal Instruments Small-scale fisheries (SSF) in Malawi are governed by a range of international policies and legal instruments which Malawi recognised. Some of the most relevant ones are: The United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) (1987); the SSF Guidelines, Malawi adopted the guidelines in 2021; United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (ratified in 1994); United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD) (1994); United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) (1982), which was acceded in September 2010; United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement (UNFSA) (2010); The Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter, and Eliminate Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing, Malawi ratified the agreement in 2014); United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2015); and The African Union Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa; The SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, which was adopted in 2008. Malawi is also a signatory since 2001 of the SADC Protocol on Fisheries which provides a legal framework for the sustainable use and management of fisheries resources within the region. There are also some non-binding instruments that Malawi subscribes to such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1963); The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (1995); and the Committee for Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture of Africa (CIFAA). The CIFAA was established by the FAO Council in 1971 with the primary objective of promoting, coordinating, and assisting national and regional fisheries in sustainable research and development of inland fishery resources. It also aids members in establishing scientific foundations for conservation measures and supporting efforts to protect the aquatic environment. Recent amendments were made to address emerging socio-cultural and economic concerns, including biodiversity conservation, climate change, resource pressure, and sustainability. These policy and legal instruments call for member states to put in place and implement measures that safeguard the rights of fisheries players as well as the conservation and management of the fisheries resources. Member states are obliged to safeguard the rights of vulnerable groups within their countries. The SSF Guidelines lay out principles and recommend policies, strategies, and actions to promote fishers, fish workers, the fish they rely on for food and income, and their livelihoods and communities. They serve as a valuable tool for policymakers, organizations, and stakeholders to work towards a more inclusive and resilient small-scale fisheries sector while safeguarding the vital marine resources and ecosystems for future generations. On the other hand, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were designed to address various social, economic, and environmental challenges faced by the world, with the aim of creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all. They are built on the principle of “leaving no one behind,” which means that the goals strive to benefit all people, including those in vulnerable situations and marginalized communities like most SSF. 1.7.2 National Policy and Legal Instruments At national level, the plan is guided by policy and legal instruments. Some of the policies include National Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy (2016), The National Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Policy (2018), The Scaling- Up Nutrition (SUN 3.0) Movement, The Micronutrient Fortification Policy (2008), The National Agriculture Policy (2016-2021) and the National Gender Policy (2015). These national policy frameworks provide a foundation and guidance for the development and management of fisheries in Malawi and help to ensure that it is sustainable and contribute to national food security and poverty reduction. Apart from the policies, the NPOA-SSF aligns with the current long term national strategy The Malawi Agenda 2063’s Pillar 1 (Agriculture Productivity and Commercialization) and the first 10-year Malawi Implementation Plan (MIP-1). Within the MW2063, the NPOA-SSF is coherent with such Enablers as environmental sustainability, economic infrastructure, human resource development, private sector dynamism and mind-set change. As for the national legal instruments the Plan of Action is coherent with The Republican Constitution which serves as an overarching guiding document, explicitly guaranteeing protection against discrimination and ensuring equal enjoyment of human rights for all individuals in Malawi. In addition to the Constitution, other 9 relevant legal instruments with which the Plan of Action is aligned include the following: The Fisheries and Conservation Act (1997) serves as the foundation for fisheries management and regulation. It encompasses various aspects such as licensing, fisheries access rights, conservation measures, and enforcement mechanisms. Specifically, Part III of the Act recognizes the significance of small-scale fisheries and provides for the participation of fishing communities in the management and sustainable development of fisheries resources. The Environmental Management Act (1996) provides a framework for the conservation, protection, and management of the environment, including fisheries resources. It promotes sustainable practices and mitigates the environmental impacts of fishing activities. The Land Act (2016) is relevant to small-scale fisheries in cases where land is utilised for fishing activities, such as the establishment of landing sites, fish processing facilities, and aquaculture operations. The Act addresses land tenure, land-use planning, and allocation of land for fisheries purposes. Gender Equality Act (2013) addresses gender-based discrimination and provides for equal enjoyment of rights and opportunities for both women and men. It emphasises the elimination of gender-based violence, promotes equal access to resources, and encourages gender mainstreaming. The National Plan of Action to Combat Gender-Based Violence in Malawi 2014–2020 focuses on combating domestic violence and provides protection for survivors. Other legal instruments relevant to SSF include the Trafficking in Persons Act (2016), the Education Act (2015), and the Local Government Act (2017). 1.7.3 Key guiding principles The NPOA-SSF follows the following principles as stipulated in the SSF Guidelines: a) Human Rights and dignity Recognizing the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable human rights of all individuals, all parties should recognize, respect, promote and protect the human rights principles and their applicability to communities dependent on small-scale fisheries, as stipulated by international human rights standards: universality and inalienability; indivisibility; interdependence and interrelatedness; non-discrimination and equality; participation and inclusion; accountability and the rule of law. States should respect and protect the rights of defenders of human rights in their work on small-scale fisheries. All non-state actors including business enterprises related to or affecting small-scale fisheries have a responsibility to respect human rights. States should regulate the scope of activities in relation to small-scale fisheries of non-state actors to ensure their compliance with international human rights standards. b) Respect of cultures Recognizing and respecting existing forms of organization, traditional and local knowledge, and practices of small-scale fishing communities, including indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities encouraging women leadership and taking into account Art. 5 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). c) Non-discrimination Promoting the elimination of all kinds of discrimination in policies and practice in small-scale fisheries. d) Gender equality and equity Fundamental to any development initiative is the recognition and promotion of the role of both women and men in small-scale fisheries as well as equal rights and opportunities. Through equity and equality processes promote justice and fair treatment— both legally and in practice – of all people and peoples, including equal rights to the enjoyment of all human rights. At the same time, differences between women and men should be acknowledged and specific measures taken to accelerate de facto equality, i.e., using preferential treatment where required to achieve equitable outcomes, particularly for vulnerable and marginalized groups. 10 e) Consultation and participation Ensuring active, free, effective, meaningful, and informed participation of small-scale fishing communities, including indigenous peoples, taking into account the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN DRIP) in the whole decision-making process related to fishery resources and areas where small-scale fisheries operate as well as adjacent land areas, and taking existing power imbalances between different parties into consideration. This should include feedback and support from those who could be affected by decisions prior to these being taken and responding to their contributions. f) Rule of Law Adopting a rules-based approach for small-scale fisheries through laws that are widely publicised in applicable languages, applicable to all, equally enforced and independently adjudicated, and that are consistent with existing obligations under national and international law, and with due regard to voluntary commitments under applicable regional and international instruments. g) Transparency Defining and widely publicising policies, laws and procedures in applicable languages, and widely publicising decisions in applicable languages and in formats accessible to all. h) Accountability Holding individuals, public agencies, and non-state actors responsible for their actions and decisions according to the principles of the rule of law. i) Economic social and environmental sustainability Applying the precautionary approach and risk management guard against undesirable outcomes, including fish loss and waste, overexploitation of fishery resources and negative environmental, social, and economic impacts. j) Holistic and integrated approaches Recognizing the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) as an important guiding principle, embracing the notions of comprehensiveness and sustainability of all parts of ecosystems as well as the livelihoods of small-scale fishing communities, and ensuring cross-sectoral coordination as small-scale fisheries are closely linked to and dependent on many other sectors. k) Social responsibility Promoting community solidarity and collective and corporate responsibility that embraces diverse traditional knowledge and customary practices in promoting conservation and sustainable management of small-scale fisheries. In many communities, fishing is deeply rooted in their culture and is often a significant source of livelihood. l) Feasibility and social and economic viability Ensuring that those policies, strategies, plans and actions for improving small-scale fisheries governance and development are socially and economically sound and rational. They should be informed by existing conditions, implementable and adaptable to changing circumstances, and should support community resilience. 11 2. FISHERIES SECTOR PROFILE 2.1 Overview 2.1.1 Components of the fisheries sector: The fisheries sector in Malawi comprises two main components: capture fisheries and aquaculture. Capture fisheries involve the extraction of fish from natural water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Capture fisheries is further categorized into (i) large-scale or commercial, and (ii) small-scale. Aquaculture, also known as fish farming, involves the cultivation of fish in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, or cages, and in Malawi, it primarily focuses on tilapia and catfish production. Women play a substantial role in the capture fisheries sub-sector, making up more than 60% of the workforce of whom approximately 80% are employed in post-harvest processes and trading. Small-scale fisheries in Malawi’s context are fishing activities that use less sophisticated fishing methods that are labour-intensive, use mainly their own labour (i.e., family labour), use low capital investments on wooden vessels and outboard engines, and exploit the fisheries resources of the inshore fishing grounds of all the lakes and rivers (Weyl et al., 2010). The fishing gears and crafts used in small-scale fisheries in Malawi include gillnets, traps, hooks and lines, beach seines, and traditional fishing gear. In addition, they also use engines that are less than 25 horsepower to propel fish crafts. Among SSF, men traditionally do most of the fishing while women are responsible for fish processing and marketing. However, this division of labour is beginning to shift as an increasing number of women engage in fishing and rise to positions of authority in fisheries management. 2.1.2 Water bodies that are main sources of fish: Approximately 20 percent of the country’s land is covered by water, spanning an area of 24,404 km2. These water bodies harbour a rich biodiversity, supporting over 1000 species, with around 800 species being endemic to Malawi. The country is home to nearly 15 percent of the world’s freshwater fish biodiversity. Fisheries in Malawi primarily rely on five major water bodies: Lake Malawi, Chilwa, Chiuta, Malombe, and the Shire River. The majority of fish catches, accounting for 93 percent of the total, are obtained from Lake Malawi, while the remaining water bodies contribute to the rest. Lake Malawi, the third largest lake in Africa, follows Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika in terms of size. Lake Malawi, Lake Malombe, and the Shire River are freshwater ecosystems, providing habitats for a wide range of freshwater species. On the other hand, Lakes Chilwa and Chiuta are enclosed systems, known as endorheic lakes, and thus exhibit a slightly saline nature. The diverse aquatic resources in Malawi, particularly Lake Malawi, play a vital role in supporting the country’s fishing industry and contribute significantly to its freshwater fish biodiversity. Most of the fish caught by the small-scale fisheries include Chambo (Oreochromis spp), Usipa (Engraulicypris sardella), Utaka (Copadichromis spp), Ncheni (Ramphochromis spp), Kambuzi (Haplochromine spp), Mbaba (Buccochromis) Ndunduma (Diplotaxodon spp), Chisawasawa (offshore Lethrinops spp), Kampango (Bagrus spp), Bombe (Bathyclarias spp) Overall, total fish catch has increased from 65,484 tonnes in 2006 to 223,000 tonnes in 2018, owing primarily to high Usipa production. Currently, total production is estimated at 180,508 tonnes from capture fisheries (171,115 tonnes). The sector contributes about 4 percent to the GDP (GoM 2023). 2.1.3 Importance of fisheries for employment and food and nutrition security: According to the 2020 Annual Frame Survey, there are estimated 75,000 small-scale fishers operating in all the water bodies. Out of this total number of fishers, 314 were female gear owners. 3,458 fishers were below the age of 18 years; 39,800 fishers were between the ages of 18 and 35 years; and 31,527 fishers were above the age of 35 years. These fishers operate 19,686 fishing crafts. The sector indirectly employs more than 500,000 people through ancillary activities such as transportation, fish processing, fish trading, boat building and others. The Malawi SSF contributes about 90% of total fish catches. The sector plays an important socioeconomic role for rural communities by providing food, nutritional security, and livelihoods in the country. Malawi has an annual per capita fish consumption of 9.6 kg which is below the required World Health Organisation’s (WHO) range of 13-15kg. Fish accounts for approximately 70 percent of dietary animal protein intake and 40 percent of total protein supply in Malawi (GoM, 2022). 2.1.4 Evolution of fisheries management in Malawi: The management system in the artisanal fisheries sub-sector has changed from the conventional “top-down” management approach to a participatory fisheries 12 management approach. The Act provides for the establishment of Local Fisheries Management Authorities (LFMA) to facilitate monitoring and regulation of fishing activities, enforce management regulations and promote sustainable fishing practices. This approach started on a pilot basis in Lake Malombe in 1993 and has since spread to Lakes Malawi, Chiuta, Chilwa, and the Shire River System. Despite the introduction of participatory fisheries management, the management regulatory measures, fisheries management policies are still based on biological information as guided by the fisheries policy. The following are some of the provisions in the Fisheries Conservation and Management Regulations of 2000: ● Closed Fishing Season and Area, designed to protect certain species during their spawning period. ● Mesh size restrictions, formulated to supplement closed season and areas in order to protect young fish from being caught before maturity. ● Minimum fish size, designed to define mesh size restriction to protect juvenile stages of fishery resources. ● Maximum headline length of fishing net, designed to control fishing effort by limiting the size of the fishing net. 2.1.5 SWOT Analysis of the small-scale fisheries in Malawi In the context of human rights, small-scale fisheries (SSF) play an important role in Malawi’s economy, providing many Malawians with livelihoods and food security. However, there are significant human rights issues affecting Malawi’s SSF sector. Among these concerns are: SSFs often encounter difficulties accessing and owning resources such as fishing gear, boats, and fuel, limiting their capacity to fish and earn a living. The sector has also experienced inequalities towards women, youth, and especially individuals with disabilities to accessing fisheries resources and decision-making processes affecting the SSF sector. Working conditions for most of the SSFs are unsafe, they use small boats with limited safety measures in place and usually result in accidents and loss of life. Similarly, children are often involved in fishing and ancillary activities, notably in the processing and sale of fish, which has led to sexual exploitation, high incidences of school dropouts and increased vulnerability to contracting HIV. The SSFs in Malawi are not always recognized as legitimate stakeholders in fisheries management. This can result in policies and regulations that overlook their needs and interests, and addressing these human rights challenges necessitates a multifaceted approach involving all fisheries actors. This includes ensuring fair resource access, strengthening marginalized communities, fostering safe working conditions, and putting in place sustainable fishing techniques. The fisheries sector has also experienced declining fish stocks due to overfishing and environmental degradation, poor infrastructure, poor /limited access to markets, high post-harvest losses, non- functional cooperatives or associations, inadequate funding to undertake effective enforcement of fisheries regulations, weak governance, climate change effects leading to changing water levels and temperatures affecting fish populations and the livelihoods of fishers, diseconomies of scale, limited ability to maintain quality and produce value-added fish products. Weak institutional frameworks to support their trade, as well as difficulties accessing landing sites and fishing grounds, only make their predicament worse. Further, there are violations of women’s rights in accessing fish and accessories to fish processing facilities, thereby affecting their ability to optimize their contribution to the fisheries value chain. In addressing the challenges, the following are some of the opportunities or national initiatives that have been implemented upon which the NPOA will build on. ● Domestication of Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management/Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management. ● Enormous research projects through collaboration of various state and non-state actors. ● Establishment of FSTAP to oversee the fisheries research initiatives. 13 ● Devolution of fisheries extension services to the District Councils to effectively engage the local structures in fisheries management. ● In 2003, the government, in collaboration with research and academic institutions in Malawi, developed the Chambo Restoration Strategic Plan (2003-2015) and revised it in 2018. ● Development and implementation of a National Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Agenda (NFARA) 2018–2023, whose goal is to guide researchers and all relevant stakeholders in the implementation of all research activities to ensure that research efforts are addressing national priorities and that there is effective collaboration and networking in the implementation of the activities. ● Implementation of the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy Development of a guide to Participatory Fisheries Management in Malawi (Implementation Guidelines) in 2016, whose aim is to promote active participation of all stakeholders in fisheries governance. Figure 1: Launch of the SSF Guidelines in Malawi 14 3. NPOA-SSF IMPLEMENTATION 3.1 National Priorities for SSF The NPOA-SSF Implementation plan outlines key national priorities and strategic issues that require attention. These include: ● Capacity building and awareness: Advocacy skills and knowledge of human rights are critical for the effective implementation of the plan. ● Ecosystem-based management: Implementing an ecosystem-based approach ensures that fisheries management considers the entire ecosystem, including biodiversity, habitat protection, and ecological interactions. ● Tenure Systems in the SSF: Strengthened to advance mechanisms promoting equitable access to resources, and tenure of rights for fishing communities across the fish value chain. ● Research, learning and knowledge sharing: There is a need to conduct research on various issues affecting the fisheries sector as stipulated in the national fisheries and aquaculture research agenda (2018-2023) currently, the use of existing data and information to support development initiatives is inadequate. ● Fisheries legal framework: Transforming fisheries from an open access to a property rights-based approach is recommended. This will require review and adoption of existing legal frameworks and other sectoral instruments. The implementation of the FAO SSF Guidelines should also be considered, and any weak and outdated policies and by-laws should be reviewed. ● Small-Scale fisheries governance structures: At national, district and community levels, the Department of Fisheries, District Fisheries offices, Fisheries Associations, cooperatives, BVCs, and Traditional Authorities are responsible for strengthening small-scale fisheries governance. ● Institutional reforms: Institutional reforms that promote structured markets, and control gender insensitive market systems such as ndagwira should be undertaken. ● Infrastructure development: Promoting the use of improved technologies is crucial in enhancing the productivity of small-scale fisheries, marketing, and reducing post-harvest losses. ● Social protection initiatives: Social protection initiatives that promote alternative livelihoods should be implemented to support communities dependent on small-scale fisheries during lake closed season and climate change related disasters. 15 3.2 Outcomes, Outputs, and Activities of the NPOA-SSF 3.2.1 The Outcomes of NPOA-SSF The outcomes below will support implementation SSF Guidelines by focusing on six thematic areas.
