Masifundise Development Trust

Our mission is to build the knowledge, skills, and capacity of small-scale fishing communities to enable them to become agents of change within their own communities, organisations, and social movements, with the ability to understand, engage with and, where necessary, challenge and advocate for just political and economic decision-making processes. This includes facilitating and strengthening participatory governance at all levels, enabling fishing communities to secure their social, economic, and political rights and to demand redistribution of access to natural resources and roll-back of harmful development initiatives and promoting principles of social, economic, and environmental justice.
