EAF-Nansen Programme

In collaboration with 32 countries across Africa and the Bay of Bengal, the EAF-Nansen Programme is committed to improving fisheries management in line with the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF), strengthening the capacities of fisheries institutions and generating scientific knowledge on marine resources and ecosystems. The Programme is a longstanding partnership between FAO and Norway, implemented in close collaboration with the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (IMR). It is also one of the ‘Decade Action Programmes’ under the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030)
