The document outlines the process of creating a Municipal Agricultural Profile (MAP), which describes the agricultural features of a municipality. It discusses 8 major components of MAP-ing including agricultural history, physical characteristics, social characteristics, agricultural land use, local agricultural support mechanisms, production/marketing/income profiles, resource strengths/weaknesses, and identified prospects/challenges. It also describes the information needs, sources, tools and processes for gathering data on each component to develop a complete MAP and diagnose any data gaps.

Resource-based Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Focus Group Discussion Design for SWOT Analysis and Identification of Prospects and Challenges (Attachment F) Focus Group Discussion How to do it: 1. Brief participants on the importance of the activity; 2. Discuss the information required from them; 3. Ask questions on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the agri-fishery sectors; 4. Enable participants identify strengths and opportunities based on results of the competitive assessment and situation analysis. Farmer/fisher leaders, village traders, agri-fishery product processors Identification of SWOT of agriculture and fisheries based on availability or absence of required natural endowment, infra, institutions, credit and financing, hu-man resources, support policies, technologies, etc Tool Process How to do it Source Information Needs
