Résumé :	The Inception Workshop of the FAO Extrabudgetary Programme on Fisheries and Aquaculture for Poverty Alleviation and Food Security (Rome, 27-30 October 2009) was held to generate inputs and guidance to the contents and process of developing an assistance programme for fisheries and aquaculture encompassing both normative activities and country-level support. The overall goal of the programme is to ensure that responsible and sustainable use of fisheries and aquaculture resources make an appreciable contribution to human well-being, food security and poverty alleviation. The workshop participants agreed with the main thrust and themes of the programme which were considered relevant and comprehensive. There were clear linkages between these themes that needed to be carefully reviewed in the light of previous experiences and the outcomes of this workshop to fill gaps, avoid duplication and ensure coherence among the different programme components. There is a need to bring fisheries and aquaculture (with a special focus on small-scale producers and post-harvesters) higher up on the poverty alleviation, food security and disaster risk reduction (DRR) agendas, and to raise the profile of the sector through better data and information on its contribution at household, local and national levels. Fisheries and aquaculture sector policies and programmes should be informed by a human rights approach to development that is pro-poor and gender sensitive. There are close links between climate change and the programme themes. DRR and climate change adaptation both strive to increase resilience. By increasing the social and economic resilience of small-scale fishers, fish farmers and fish workers through, inter alia, improving governance and taking a holistic approach to supporting livelihoods, their ability to adapt to climate and other global changes will be strengthened. However, the challenges to advance the poverty alleviation and food security agenda are considerable. Concerted efforts and partnerships at different levels and scales are needed (e.g. between partner countries, governments and communities, as well as donors). It is also vital to build up national and local ownership in accordance with the Paris Declaration and this should be a key requirement for the inception phase and beyond.
