During this 75 min session, Small-Scale Fisheries Resource and Collaboration Hub partners WWF and SmartFish help participants improve their understanding of community conservation enterprises (CCE) and their major role in sustainable conservation practices while ensuring the co-existence and the livelihood of the communities. In addition, WWF showcases their new e-course which provides practitioners working with CCEs with business concepts and tools to support their work, at their own pace.
Learn about the Strengthening Community Conservation Enterprises (CCEs) E-Course
"CCEs, such as SSF and Aquaculture cooperatives, are small, locally-run businesses providing livelihoods that also support the protection of habitats and biodiversity. However, CCEs often face significant obstacles in trying to make a sustainable living. Whether it’s the administrative challenge of establishing a business or a lack of capital to get things off the ground, these obstacles can prevent many enterprises from reaching their full potential.
To address this, WWF developed a self-paced e-learning course to help NGOs and community-based organizations better support communities in strengthening CCEs. Whilst not specifically focused on SSF, the course contains a specific module on coastal CCEs, as well as several case studies and resources that are relevant to SSF."
