Understanding Fisheries Livelihoods and Constraints to their Development: Kenya and Tanzania - Livelihood Appraisal.

Abstract

The objectives of the livelihood appraisal were to carry out livelihood assessments at selected sites in order to carry out a stakeholders' analysis to inform the workshop process, describe the relationship between fishers and their resources, describe links between livelihood strategies and relative socio-economic status, and identify the most vulnerable groups to loss or mismanagement of fisheries resources, identify site-specific formal and informal management systems and institutions, and analyse and report the outcomes. The livelihood appraisal complements and \"ground truths\" information gathered in the review phase, by providing more quantitative socio-economic information and more detailed knowledge on livelihood strategies and constraints of fisheries dependent communities.
