EPRU Fellow Mare Sarr attended a policy workshop on the political economy of fisheries in developing countries organised by the World Bank Agriculture and Rural Department (April 12-13).
Five in-depth case studies on the reform of
fisheries in Bangladesh, Chile, Indonesia, Sénégal and South Africa were
presented. The discussion focused on the issue of use rights and the importance
of the political economy and the institutional framework in determining reform
outcomes. A number of NGOs took part in the workshop together with policy
makers and analysts from the World Bank.
