The Fisheries Policy

This study assesses the relevance of the fisheries policy (1997) to Asian Development Bank (ADB) operations, taking into account major global and regional policy development initiatives in fisheries. The study also reviews trends in ADB assistance to fisheries before and after the adoption of the fisheries policy. The evaluation concludes that the fisheries policy did not make a significant difference in guiding ADB-financed operations in fisheries. This study recommends for ADB to retire its fisheries policy.
