This handbook is designed to provide applications support through tools, case studies, examples, best practices, tips, discussions and ideas, while also providing information, knowledge and research findings to increase understanding and awareness. An important aim of this handbook is to make it practical by tailoring GESI/HR concepts to suit the tuna industry’s nature, and thus practitioners can pick it up and apply it in their daily work. The handbook covers key thematic areas in eight modules ranging from introductory content on concepts and definitions to GESI and HR issues in various aspects of offshore and onshore tuna activities, management and science as well as stakeholder engagement processes. Additionally, Module 9 provides a case study for Fiji, highlighting an inside perspective of issues around labour conditions and documented human rights violations while pointing out challenges and opportunities to integrate GESI/ HR lenses in the country context. The handbook modules are designed as stand-alone units with integrated tools to enable and simplify content-specific learning and applications for practitioners. However, the handbook is an integrated learning tool with important links and references between modules. First-time users are therefore encouraged to work with the whole handbook − in particular the introductory modules – to build on the foundational basics as a starting point.
