13. Objective(s): The study was initiated to collect the most current information and advancements in environmentally sound and socially acceptable sustainable shrimp farming and its suitability as an employment option to alleviate rural poverty in coastal areas.
14. Project Activities: The activities include the conduct of a number of case studies in East and South Asia, Africa and Latin America. In addition, reviews are being conducted of related laws, regulatory and enforcement frameworks, management and technical advances, disease control, and codes of conduct. These activities are being conducted as part of a collaborative program with the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific (NACA), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The total program budget from all is US$598,000, including the US$270,000 from the BNPP. The specific case studies under taken are the following:

15. Expected output: Based on the information collected under the above studies for which a report exists for each, the program will produce a comprehensive summary report that will include good management practices, guidelines, and general information on related shrimp farming initiatives from around the world. It will also define whether shrimp farming can be used for coastal poverty reduction and what the best technical options would be to assure, to the degree possible, financial, environmental, and social sustainability. The document will be of value to policy makers, national and international development agencies, and the private sector. The final report will be available by mid March 2001.
II.Progress report (for ongoing projects)
1. Reporting period: March 1, 2000 to January 15, 2001
2. Expected date of completion: March 31, 2001
3. Progress made during reporting period: A majority of the above listed case studies have been completed with many reports in final draft form. In addition, this activity has supported in part local and international meetings, conferences, and other forums that have included discussions on this topic. Attachment 1 contains a preliminary list of the consultations conducted.
4. Problems encountered/causes for delays: After the initial organization coordination at the beginning of the program that involved collaboration with WWF, NACA, and FAO, no particular significant issues have arisen during the reporting period.
5. Changes in project design made or considered: The only change made was to link up with the NACA, WWF, and FAO that broadened the scope while achieving the original objectives and others do to the broader interests that are now being pursued under the program.
6. Assessment of expected results/impact: The study should provide guidance for and comprehensive information of shrimp farming for many development considerations whether for small or large farmers with a wide range of production intensities and models documented. It will also provide up to date information.
7. Other relevant information: Many of the studies relevant in particular to Latin America will be translated into Spanish and Portuguese.
