The Finance in Common (FiC) summit will be discussing food security and agribusiness, supposedly building on the UN Food Systems Summit, for which civil society already expressed concerns. On this occasion, more than 270 small-scale producers, indigenous peoples and civil society organisations, including CFFA, publish a joint statement.
During the SFPA negotiations, the local artisanal fishing organisation SFBOA, highlighted its priorities: the EU-Seychelles agreement should (i) contribute to reducing the pressure on tuna resources and on the environment; (ii) ensure transparency and more participation of the fisheries stakeholders and local communities, and (iii) use sectoral support funds primarily for the management of fisheries, and for the improvement of living and working conditions in the local fishing sector.
