"This paper presents the impact of Community Based Fisheries Management Organizations (CBO) on fishing households welfare and their livelihood in Bangladesh. During 1995 to 2006 the CBFM project established local fishery CBOs by providing credit facilities, training and promoting social awareness with an aim to enhance poor fishers capability of greater access to their livelihoods. This paper describes the results from a survey of 2,826 households in 40 water bodies.
"The study found that fishers income from fishing did not raise significantly in project open beel sites and fell in closed beel sites. In contrast a clear improvement was demonstrated in fishers income from fishing in <i>river and floodplain sites. This indicates that it is difficult to determine the outcome of CBFM due to the variability between the resource systems and the communities. The study shows that the households in the project areas were found to be more cooperative, more aware of fisheries rules and regulations and were able to resolve conflicts due to project interventions. The results suggest that the success of community based interventions mainly depends on the particular context. It conclude that future community based interventions need to give priority to flexible management approach and follow the context specific guidelines rather than applying a fixed approach. The roles of partner NGOs and government should be well defined for future sustainability of community based institutions in inland fisheries of Bangladesh." |
