The Fisheries Directorate of São Tomé and Príncipe started using tablets for fisheries data collection

🐟 With support from the FISH4ACP project, the Fisheries Directorate of São Tomé and Príncipe is implementing smartphone technologies to monitor artisanal fisheries!
🐟 Questionnaires to collect fisheries data have been developed using the free platform KoboToolbox.
🐟 During the past week, 14 data collectors from different landing sites have been trained on fisheries data collection using tablets.
🐟 Data collectors had the opportunity to test the new tool and provide feedback, so we could improve questionnaire flow and interface.
🐟 During the coming weeks, data collectors will receive continuous support from supervisors of the Fisheries Directorate to facilitate the transition to the new tool.

FISH4ACP is a partnership between FAO, European Union, Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and Secretariat of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS)
