Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) affected community members will be supported to mobilize themselves in order to identify viable livelihoods activities in a participatory manner; (2) in addition to supporting the development of business ventures, the project will provide individual training necessary to build the skills of members of affected households including fishers, their spouses, and dependents; (3) sustainable community-based business ventures designed under the project will be supported by a sub-grant’s mechanism. This mechanism will provide financial resources as initial capital investment to support the start-up of the identified business ventures; (4) there will be employment opportunities during the implementation of the project that will be used to absorb some of the displaced members of the fishing communities especially where their skills meet the job requirements; and (5) affected indigenous vulnerable and marginalized groups (VMG) communities will also be fully engaged to promote their participation in project activities and in the development of alternative livelihoods that are culturally appropriate.  Réduire
