Sernapesca has launched "Plan Caleta en Línea" in Puerto Cisnes, Aysén, Chile, bringing digital services to over 150 artisanal fishers in isolated communities like Puerto Raúl Marín Balmaceda, Puerto Gala, and Puerto Gaviota. Funded by the GEF Gobernanza Marino Costera (implemented by FAO), the program provides essential equipment including computers, notebooks, and a portable printer.

Fishers can now access services like artisanal fishing registration and quota inquiries via a new platform supporting video calls. Aysén is the first Chilean region to implement such a program, significantly strengthening marine-coastal governance.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Veterinary Association (WVA), and African Veterinary Technicians Association (AVTA) host a webinar on strengthening collaboration between veterinarians and veterinary paraprofessionals (VPPs) in Nigeria, Uganda, and South Africa. It shares results from FAO’s Empowering Veterinary Paraprofessional Entrepreneurs project.

Vets and VPPs have complementary roles. Stronger collaboration improves service coordination, expands access for livestock farmers, and enhances disease prevention, surveillance, and response. This builds resilient animal health systems, sustainable livestock production, improved livelihoods, and food security.

In Baidoa, FAO and the European Union, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, established market-oriented greenhouse gardens for women vegetable producers. These greenhouses enable year-round production of high-value crops through efficient irrigation, increasing yields and incomes. The gardens also serve as learning hubs, building practical skills in protected agriculture and agribusiness, reinforcing women’s roles in local food systems and household livelihoods.
