History of SWIOTUNA


SWIOTUNA is a regional marine-related network legally registered in Kenya as an international Non-Governmental Organization. Its membership consists of Civil Society Organizations(CSOs) such as Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and collective action community-based organizations like fishers’ associations and beach management units, as well as private sector .The administrative and management operations of SWIOTUNA are coordinated from its secretariat TUFAK .

SWIOTUNA was established in 2010 through a resolution of a meeting in Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania of non-state actors involved in fisheries development and marine resources conservation and management. There was a concern on the status Tuna fishing industry in the region and that Civil Society were being left out of high level discussions on the future of marine fisheries industry at the national, regional and continental-wide levels. As such, the civil society and coastal communities were not actively involved or participating in fisheries and marine resource reforms. For these reasons, SWIOTUNA was formed as both an advocacy-focused and knowledge sharing network.

SWIOTUNA est un réseau régional lié à la mer légalement enregistré au Kenya en tant qu'organisation non gouvernementale internationale. Ses membres sont des organisations de la société civile (OSC) telles que des organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) et des organisations communautaires d'action collective telles que les associations de pêcheurs et les unités de gestion des plages, ainsi que le secteur privé. Les opérations administratives et de gestion de SWIOTUNA sont coordonnées de son secrétariat TUFAK

SWIOTUNA a été créée en 2010 à la suite d'une résolution d'une réunion à Dar-es-salaam, en Tanzanie, d'acteurs non étatiques impliqués dans le développement des pêches et la conservation et la gestion des ressources marines. Le statut de l'industrie de la pêche au thon dans la région était préoccupant et le fait que la société civile était exclue des discussions de haut niveau sur l'avenir de l'industrie de la pêche maritime aux niveaux national, régional et continental. En tant que telles, la société civile et les communautés côtières n'étaient pas activement impliquées ou participaient aux réformes des pêches et des ressources marines. Pour ces raisons, SWIOTUNA a été formé à la fois comme un réseau de plaidoyer et de partage des connaissances.

SWIOTUNA é uma rede marítima regional legalmente registrada no Quênia como uma organização não governamental internacional. Os seus membros são Organizações da Sociedade Civil (OSC), como Organizações Não Governamentais (ONGs) e organizações de base comunitária de ação coletiva, como associações de pescadores e unidades de gestão de praias, bem como o setor privado. As operações administrativas e de gestão da SWIOTUNA são coordenadas de seu secretariado TUFAK.

A SWIOTUNA foi criada em 2010 por meio de uma resolução de uma reunião em Dar-es-salaam, Tanzânia, de atores não-estatais envolvidos no desenvolvimento pesqueiro e na conservação e gestão dos recursos marinhos. Havia uma preocupação com o status da indústria da pesca do atum na região e que a Sociedade Civil estava sendo deixada de fora das discussões de alto nível sobre o futuro da indústria da pesca marinha nos níveis nacional, regional e continental. Como tal, a sociedade civil e as comunidades costeiras não estavam ativamente envolvidas ou participando nas reformas dos recursos pesqueiros e marinhos. Por essas razões, a SWIOTUNA foi formada tanto como uma rede focada na defesa de direitos quanto como uma rede de compartilhamento de conhecimento.
