Country results per transparency requirements
Our TAKING STOCK assessments have been developed to offer insights into different country experiences and approaches to publishing data. For each assessed country, we evaluate the government’s disclosure practices across 12 thematic areas of marine fisheries management, as defined by the FiTI Standard.
In order to avoid ambiguities during the assessment, these 12 thematic areas have been further broken down into 39 transparency elements. For example, thematic area #1 ‘Fisheries Laws, Regulations and Official Policy Documents’ is broken down into three transparency elements.
Each TAKING STOCK assessments provides individual scores – i.e. whether basic information on a country’s marine fisheries sector is freely available on government websites, whether it is up to date and whether it is easy to find – as well as composite scores for each of the 39 assessed
transparency element.
