Opportunities for Linking Fisheries Management and Social Protection in Solomon Islands
Social protection and jobs programs (SPJ) can improve livelihoods and reduce vulnerability in coastal fishing communities in Solomon Islands, but these programs must be designed in a way that responds to socio-economic vulnerabilities and climate risks, recognizes the reliance of communities on fishing for nutrition and income, and integrates with community-level fisheries management. The Solomon Islands Government (SIG) has placed community-based resource management (CBRM) at the center of its strategy for coastal fisheries management. CBRM recognizes and builds on traditions of indigenous conservation and community rights to promote fisheries management and sustainable harvests. Supporting CBRM through expanded formal social protection (SP), linked with financial inclusion, climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction (DRR), and other complementary initiatives, has the potential to reduce vulnerabilities.

| Summary: | Social protection and jobs programs
(SPJ) can improve livelihoods and reduce vulnerability in
coastal fishing communities in Solomon Islands, but these
programs must be designed in a way that responds to
socio-economic vulnerabilities and climate risks, recognizes
the reliance of communities on fishing for nutrition and
income, and integrates with community-level fisheries
management. The Solomon Islands Government (SIG) has placed
community-based resource management (CBRM) at the center of
its strategy for coastal fisheries management. CBRM
recognizes and builds on traditions of indigenous
conservation and community rights to promote fisheries
management and sustainable harvests. Supporting CBRM through
expanded formal social protection (SP), linked with
financial inclusion, climate change adaptation, disaster
risk reduction (DRR), and other complementary initiatives,
has the potential to reduce vulnerabilities. |
