FAMENET

FAMENET (Fisheries and Aquaculture Monitoring, Evaluation and Local Support Network) supports stakeholders in the implementation of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) and European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF).

FAMENET merges the support previously provided by FAME and FARNET in three core areas:

• monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the EMFAF and the EMFF.
• implementing community-led local development (CLLD) in fisheries and aquaculture areas to foster a sustainable blue economy.
• communicating on the results of the EMFF and EMFAF through written stories and videos, and supporting the INFORM EU network.

Funded by the European Union, CLLD or ‘community-led local development’ is a bottom-up approach to local development that brings local people together to decide how they want to improve their area. They do so by setting up partnerships of civil society, businesses and public bodies, called Local Action Groups (LAGs). FAMENET supports a network of around 350 LAGs across the EU in the implementation of their local development strategies under the EMFF and EMFAF.

The work previously performed by FARNET, the network of people implementing CLLD for the 2014-2021 period, is still accessible on the FARNET website.

Cooperation

Cooperation is core to the CLLD approach of participative, local development. Cooperating with local groups from other areas can allow LAGs to find the complementarities or critical mass to increase the impact of their actions or transfer existing solutions or knowledge from one area to another. If you are a LAG Manager and want to exchange with other LAGs on cooperation ideas, join our LAG Manager Linked-In Group. You can also contact us directly with your cooperation idea at CLLDfamenet [dot] eu (CLLD[at]famenet[dot]eu)

FAMENET communicates the successes of the EMFF and EMFAF, through the collection of good practices and stories, to a wide range of audiences.
