Recreational fisheries are crucial to Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal economies and culture, yet they remain poorly documented. Limited and inconsistent data collection across countries hinders effective policymaking.

To address these significant knowledge gaps, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) launched a dedicated research programme in 2024. This initiative, rolled out in 13 countries, applies standardized data collection regionally, making fisher collaboration essential. The ultimate goal is to strengthen sustainable fisheries management. For more information, visit the GFCM website: https://www.fao.org/gfcm/en/

Afghan farmers struggle with market access, limiting productivity. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), supported by the World Bank, is strengthening agricultural value chains by improving input access and linking farmers to markets.

Awarded a World Bank grant, her business expands production, creates jobs, and improves market access, fostering private sector-led growth in Afghanistan's agrifood sector.
