FISH4ACP is a five-year fish value chain development programme spanning 2020 to 2025. It is being implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with funding from the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. In Guyana,FISH4ACP is working towards a sustainable, resilient, well-managed, and inclusive shrimp fishery to strengthen the country’s position as a leading exporter of Atlantic seabob shrimp. This will ensure the long-term stability of stocks and bring more benefits to local fisherfolk, especially women.
