Summary:This report provides an account of experiences in applying participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM and E) in marine protected areas (MPAs) for sustainable fisheries management in North and West Africa. The document reports on two FAO initiatives: the development of a PM and E system in the context of MPA management by the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) Project, piloted in the Gambia and Senegal, and the SuiviCOM Project in Al Hoceima National Park in Morocco, integrated in the MedPartnership programme (Activity 3.2.3). Following an overview of the background and the overall context of the two PM and E systems, the document details how the systems were developed along with related challenges and opportunities. Based on lessons learned from the two experiences, practical recommendations are provided for setting up a PM and E system for fisheries in an MPA.
