Project Title: Promotion of “One Village, One Fisheries Products (FOVOP)” System to Improve the Livelihood for the Fisheries Communities in ASEAN Region
Project Type: Human resources development (HRD) programs mobilizing existing regional technical cooperation schemes and expertise for both awareness building and capacity building on the promotion of active participation of the women’s group in economic activities in the fishing community through the promotion of “one village one fisheries product”(FOVOP) system.
Executing Agency: The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in collaboration with ASEAN Member Countries.
Eligibility: SEAFDEC is an intergovernmental organization established in Southeast Asia being responsible for the promotion of sustainable fisheries. Based on its technical competence in various disciplines of fisheries, SEAFDEC over the last 39 years has played a significant role in fisheries development in the region.
