Trustful relationship with the government

Since its creation, MIHARI has always involved the government authorities, at the highest level. It has made the Ministries of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, as well as of Environment, visible, as they were both cited as main partners, host of conferences, etc. MIHARI has also consulted the authorities along processes, such as the formalisation of a reference guide on LMMAs, the first of this kind in the country, to be hopefully eventually integrated in the national law.

  • Government officials are invited in all major fora and site visits, as sponsors.
  • Liaise and maintain good relationships with government officials, including Ministers.
  • Collaboration in the organization of key events, such as the workshop to enhance mud crab fisheries management.

It is very important to meet with government officials on a regular basis, so as to update them on ongoing and planned activities.
