MDPI is pleased to participate in the 2024 Asia Pacific Workshop of the Fisheries Improvement Project Community of Practice (FIP CoP) from September 9-12, 2024 in Bali. The event brought together fisheries experts and private sector representatives, where MDPI highlighted the critical role of human factors in Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP). Many small-scale fishers in Indonesia lack access to technology and trainings to build their skillsets to participate in improving the fisheries sector. Quoting MDPI-assisted North Maluku fisher Jonathan Guraichi, it takes participatory method to help small-scale fishers with limited access to such privilege in complying responsible fisheries. This is when social responsibility becomes crucial in improving the fisheries sector. MDPI presented the importance of data collection capacity building for small-scale fishers, as well as financial literacy for fishing households to support the Fisheries Improvement Project. These can be tools to support social and business improvement, as well as the wellbeing of the fishing communities. Many thanks for the FIP CoP team and all the stakeholders who supported this successful workshop! #HappyPeopleManyFish #FIPCoP #FisheriesImprovementProject

When it comes to embedding gender equality principles, we do not break down barriers; we infiltrate. MDPI participated in LAKSMI TALKS #6 to discuss gender equality in Indonesia's fisheries. As one of the keynote speakers in the event, Nilam Ratna highlighted efforts to 'infiltrate' the gender barrier in Indonesia's fisheries sector through financial literacy and leadership programs. From financial management to decision-making, MDPI is committed to helping women take active roles in the fishing industry. LAKSMI TALKS is a virtual discussion series hosted by Saraswati highlighting gender issues in Indonesia. Other than MDPI, the sixth discussion also featured speakers from USAID Ber-Ikan and Eco Fishing Port NIRAS-AFD to raise awareness on gender equality in the fisheries sector.
