Summary:
The WorldFish Center has released a paper on vulnerability in inland fishing communities in Africa.
The paper underscores the need to consider that household vulnerability is related to: natural resource systems; local livelihoods; external drivers; and institutions and governance systems. It suggests that interventions should prioritize these four issues. Field data collection revealed that fishery resource vulnerability was less important to households than general food security and access to health education and credit.

The WorldFish Center has released papers on adaptation of floodplain fishing communities to climate change in the Niger basin and on vulnerability in inland fishing communities in Africa.
On adaptation in the Niger basin, the report notes that the Sahel is undergoing reduced floodplain inundation due to dam construction and increased inter-annual rainfall variation.
