Abalobi is a social enterprise based in South Africa with global applicability, which is building equitable, sustainable and climate-smart small-scale fisheries, powered by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These "ICT4Fisheries" enable inclusive, human rights-based and integrated fisheries governance “from hook to cook,” empowering previously excluded fishers and communities.
Abalobi services include a fully traceable marketplace for seafood with a "story," fisher-to-fisher mentoring, system-hosting, digital financial inclusion services, data-driven and transdisciplinary science, Safety-at-Sea, Climate Change adaptation, capacity building and partnership driven support program. They want to develop sustainable fisheries using transformative processes, innovative technology, value chain upgrading, supported by a traditional fishers’ knowledge base.
