 a key role in the governance of shared fisheries. There are some 50 RFBs worldwide, most providing only advice to their members. However, regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs), an important subset of RFBs, do have a mandate and the capacity for their members to adopt binding conservation and management measures based on best scientific evidence. The current state of many shared fishery resources has led to criticism of some RFBs, which, in turn, has led to debates on how to strengthen and reform them.

Performance reviews of RFBs and revisions to their constitutive instruments have usually led to improved performance. However, RFBs can only be as effective as their member States allow, and RFBs' performance depends directly on their members' participation, engagement and political will.

The coming into force and implementation of the FAO Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (PSMA) is expected to be a major advance in combating IUU fishing. In addition, global application of the 2014 FAO Voluntary Guidelines for Flag State Performance would be an important complement to the PSMA by improving the implementation of flag State responsibilities. Moreover, market access and trade measures (such as traceability, catch documentation and ecolabelling schemes) would be very beneficial.

Partnerships can be very effective in improving the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture. Focusing on tuna and deep-sea fisheries, and with an emphasis on creating valuable partnerships and enhancing global and regional coordination on ABNJ issues, the Common Oceans ABNJ Program aims to promote efficient and sustainable management of fisheries resources and biodiversity conservation in ABNJ to achieve internationally agreed global targets. The innovative five-year ABNJ Program, which started in 2014, is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and coordinated by FAO in close collaboration with three other GEF implementing agencies and a variety of partners.

Another partnership initiative is the Global Aquaculture Advancement Partnership (GAAP) programme established by FAO. Its aim is to bring partners together to channel their technical, institutional and financial resources effectively and efficiently in support of global, regional and national aquaculture initiatives. Specifically, GAAP seeks to promote and enhance strategic partnerships, and to use them to gather resources to develop and implement projects at the various levels.
