The state of São Tomé and Principe is currently in the process of working on its TNA. It has finalized its Technology Action Plans and work is now underway to finalize the Policy Briefs.
São Tomé and Principe is a small island developing state in Africa, located close the equator off the western coast of Africa. Agriculture is the biggest source of incomes for rural families, generating 70% of rural employment and about 80% of export revenues. Nearly 20% of the workforce is employed in artisanal fisheries, and the majority of the villagers are small-scale farmers, fishermen or involved in a fishing activity.
