<p>DFID currently supports an International Partnership for African Fisheries Governance and Trade (PAF) Programme. Linked to this, and merged with it in 2010, has been the establishment of the West African Pilot Project (WAPP) which was set up to inform PAF’s work.</p><p>PAF is a regional programme which supports the development of fisheries policy across Africa. In West Africa, PAF has also supported the Ministries of Fisheries in Ghana and Sierra Leone to develop best management practices, legal and institutional frameworks, including approaches to rights-based management which enhance ownership of fisheries resources by local fishing communities and reduce illegal fishing.</p><p>PAF shares lessons between African countries on how to combat illegal fishing. For example, it supported the Sierra Leone Minister of Fisheries and his staff to visit Namibia in June 2012 to learn how fisheries management and development reform has taken place there, an element of which is the problem of illegal fishing. The programme is also building on the past work of the Stop Illegal Fishing (SIF) campaign, a major source of news on illegal fishing in the region. Information on illegal fishing vessels is now available on the SIF website and regularly updated. The programme</p><p>is also working to implement a Regional Fisheries Strategic Plan, the operationalisation of the Illegal Fishing Task Force and a Regional Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) Centre.</p>
