ABALOBI and our approach ABALOBI (meaning \u2018traditional fisher\u2019 in the isiXhosa language) is a non-profit organisation based in South Africa but with a global reach. We work with small-scale fishers through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and capacity building to foster more sustainable fisheries management and the realisation of thriving coastal fishing communities. We address inequality, the general lack of fisheries data, safety at sea concerns, and limited market access within small-scale fisheries through our unique \u2018Tech & Touch\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, we operate projects in South Africa, the Comoros and the Seychelles and are scaling our impact globally in 2021. Our approach to community development and upliftment is expressed through the ABALOBI Theory of Change, based on the hypothesis that sustainable development can only take place through fisheries change pathways that integrate ecological, social and economic concerns. Enabling small-scale fishers to record their own catches and visualise their data collectively, coupled with capacity building, the development of a fully traceable, storied seafood offering and consistent market access will empower them to engage in the market from a more equitable position.<\/p>\n

In turn, this will increase the value of their livelihoods and ultimately catalyse fishers\u2019 engagement in adaptive fisheries management and promote thriving, sustainable and equitable small-scale fishing communities.<\/p>\n
