Abstract: Fishery stocks are declining all over the world, threatening not only the livelihoods of fisheries households and communities, but also food and nutrition security of a broader society. However, many countries face challenges in reforming fisheries policies and implement fisheries management measures which tend to incur socioeconomic costs to fisheries actors in the short to medium term. Given its mission in managing risks, protecting people from poverty and shocks as well as promoting better opportunities, Social Protection and Jobs (SPJ) measures can play a greater role in facilitating these difficult reforms and regulations in the fisheries sector for a sustainable future for people, fish, and food and nutrition security. This note provides an overview of five inspiring countries, Costa Rica, Kenya, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam, where inter-sectoral efforts are underway to integrate SPJ with fisheries for a more integrated approach.
