The FAO-JICA REEFFISH project aimed to enhance resilience among coral reef fishing communities in Africa. It focused on ecosystem restoration, fishery value chains, maritime safety, and IUU fishing. Despite challenges like COVID-19 and logistical delays, the project showed positive impacts on food security and fisheries governance. Lessons highlight the need for realistic objectives, stronger partnerships, and better communication strategies.
