Deadline- 09 September 2013
Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation is inviting applications for fellowship in Fisheries governance. This is an international short course. The main aim of this course is to do overfishing. Their complexity, diversity and dynamics, and the involvement of a large number of stakeholders, make fisheries difficult to govern.
The course provides a framework in which participants will acquire insights and skills to bring stakeholders in the fisheries system and help them understand each other’s perspectives, manage their conflicts and learn together. The program is interactive and participants will practice a range of participatory tools and methodologies in a real-life case. They will be challenged to apply the concepts learned by presenting an action plan for their own professional situation.
Objectives-
- know about fisheries governance and co-management concepts, challenges faced in governance and management
- be familiar with various perspectives on fisheries management
- understand the importance of stakeholder engagement in governance
- be able to apply participatory methodologies and tools in support of the fisheries management planning process
- be familiar with the tools available to the fisheries manager for controlling fishing effort
Eligibility & Criteria-
Applicants should have an academic degree (BSC or equivalent) in a discipline relevant to fisheries management (i.e. fisheries management and/or research, fisheries extension training, development of coastal or lakeside communities). At least three years of relevant professional experience and competence in English language are required.
