Report of the FAO/NACA Consultation on Aquaculture for Sustainable Rural Development. Chiang Rai, Thailand, 29-31 March 1999.
This is the report of the consultation on Aquaculture for Sustainable Rural Development jointly organised by FAO and NACA in Chiang Rai, Thailand on 29 31 March 1999 to develop the detailed structure of a regional programme on aquaculture for sustainable rural development and propose a strategy for its implementation. The consultation took an overview of the relevant information emerging from presentations of country reports; lessons learned by specific projects; experiences of regional and inte rnational organizations and donor agencies; and findings of expert reviews. More sharply focused examination of critical issues, and discussions on specific components of the draft Programme concept were followed through parallel working group (WG) discussions. The outputs of the working groups were further discussed during the concluding plenary. Finally, a detailed Programme framework on “Aquaculture for Sustainable Rural Livelihood Development (ASRLD)” was conceived through consensus to serve as guiding principles for the formulation of the Programme. National experts, expert reviewers and representatives of most of the major international and regional stakeholders involved in initiatives that promote aquaculture in rural development in the Asia-Pacific region, such as: AIT, DANIDA, DFID, FAO, IFAD, ICLARM, IIRR, Mekong River Commission (MRC), NACA-RLCs, SEAFDEC, PD/ACRSP, HAKI etc., played active roles in this participatory exercise and in making the Programme of greater national a nd regional relevance, and practical and effective in achieving the proposed objectives.
