Guinea’s FiTI Reports
FiTI Reports are joint publications of the country’s FiTI National Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) and the FiTI International Secretariat. These annual reports comprise an assessment of fisheries transparency as well as recommendations for improving transparency and stakeholder participation in the country’s fisheries sector.
Guinea’s National Multi-Stakeholder Group has not yet published its first FiTI Report.
More information about Guinea’s FiTI implementation
November 2022 – The Minister for Fisheries and Maritime Economy, Hon. Charlotte Daffe, conveyed the country’s commitment to join the FiTI to the Chair of the FiTI International Board.
A public commitment demonstrates a sincere intention of the country’s government to increase transparency in fisheries management through the FiTI. However, the commitment should not be misinterpreted as official acceptance into the initiative. Only when such a commitment is followed by concrete implementation activities (such as the establishment of a FiTI National Multi-Stakeholder Group) and the subsequent approval of the country’s application by the FiTI International Board will the country be formally recognised as a FiTI Implementing Country.
Guinea has not yet submitted its official application documents to the FiTI International Board. Guinea must reach the status of a FiTI Implementing Country by August 2026.
Guinea has not yet been validated against the FiTI Standard.
Countries that seek to obtain the status of a FiTI Compliant Country must first reach validation eligibility by demonstrating adherence to the FiTI Standard’s transparency requirements. If deemed as eligible by the FiTI International Board, an independent validation assessment will be conducted on the country. After successfully undergoing its validation assessment, a country is declared a FiTI Compliant country. This status is maintained if the country continues to adhere to the FiTI Standard throughout subsequent validation reviews.
Guinea must first reach the status of a FiTI Implementing Country. Afterwards, Guinea has five years to reach validation eligibility (in accordance with section H.1 of the FiTI Standard).
