We are happy to share the FAO Circular No 1244 on “Development of a credit and insurance programme for small-scale fisheries in the Philippines” published jointly by FAO, APRACA and ACPC. The document summarizes the project’s achievements and includes information about its outputs, such as training materials, a list of stakeholders and the established network. The Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) with support from the Asia and Pacific Rural and Agricultural Credit Association (APRACA) and FAO implemented a project from 2020 to 2021 to analyse and improve the availability of financial services to SSF in the Philippines. This circular describes the steps taken by the project implementing agencies and partners in the development of a credit and insurance programme for small-scale fisheries.
