Who is FARNET. The role of the Support Unit
WHO IS FARNET? All those actors engaged in the sustainable development of fisheries
areas such as:• Administrations and institutions involved in the management and
implementation of Axis 4; Including EU• National networks; Including regional and EU• Stakeholder organisations at European level or with strong links to
European level; • Groups; • Various bodies and actors on the ground concerned with
sustainable development of fisheries areas.
ROLE OF FARNET Support Unit.:“The provision of technical assistance, animation, coordination,
information and capitalising on experiences”.

Why FARNET must be different
CONTEXT Depth of crisis affecting fishing Relatively small size of fishing communities Diversity of territorial contexts (decline + growth)
PROGRAMME First large scale application of integrated territorial strategies in
fisheries areas. Enormous differences in the size of budgets and groups Huge differences in levels of experience Lack of national networks and TA systems Strategies towards experienced groups and networks (LEADER)
POLICY Relative isolation of many fishing communities from decision making Opportunities for testing and becoming the local arm of broader
policies like Integrated Maritime Policy Urgency

How we work
Listening. Analysis of state of play, needs analysis, partnership with National Networks
Direct hands-on support to groups and administrations Focusing cooperation and good practice on methodological
needs at first Linked chains of activities directed at agreed thematic and
territorial priorities Territorial and thematic teams, or task forces take
responsibility. Decentralised capacity building. Working with networks,
promoting communities of practice and other self-help learning systems
Pay attention to transfer not just identification of good practice
Broader capitalisation and communication
