This FAO survey report explores the financial services available to small-scale fishers in Africa. Findings show that while two-thirds of financial service providers offer support, lending remains limited. The report highlights gaps in credit availability, especially for mobile fisher populations, and stresses the role of guarantees and short-term loans in boosting sector resilience.
