    En el presente documento se examinan diversos casos de proyectos en que se aplicaron enfoques o principios basados en los modos de vida sostenibles y que, como consecuencia de ello, surtieron un efecto concreto en la reducción de la pobreza. Puesto que no se trata de un estudio comparativo entre éste y otros tipos de enfoques, no se han tomado en consideración casos de planteamientos más “tradicionales”.

    La présente publication émane d'une demande du Directeur général de la FAO visant à rassembler un large éventail de statistiques dans les domaines de l'alimentation et de l'agriculture en indiquant, le cas échéant, les différences entre pays développés et en développement, entre les continents et entre les régions. À l'origine, les tableaux y afférents ont été réalisés et régulièrement mis à jour pour l'usage personnel du Directeur général. Il a néanmoins été décidé de les publier sous forme de document, compte tenu de l'intérêt qu'éveillaient ces informations.

    There is much interest in using customary marine tenure (CMT) as a basis for community-based fisheries management (CBFM) in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The laws of PICs lend general support to the use of CMT or tradition in fisheries management. Still, only modest efforts in the use of CMT-based community fisheries management in the PICs are observed. Further legislative action can enhance CMT use in community fisheries management.

    This report is the outcome of a study undertaken on men and women’s access to and control over land in seven districts of the Volta Region in Ghana.

The objective of the study was to obtain an improved understanding of gender-specific constraints that exist in the Volta Region with regard to land tenure.
