    The United Republic of Tanzania fisheries and aquaculture production is dominated by small scale fishers, processors and traders. The fisheries and aquaculture sector provides direct employment to about 202,053 and indirectly more than 4 million people depends on the fisheries related activities such as fish processors and traders, fishing vessel manufacturers and suppliers, fishing gear menders, fish mongers and employees. However, the small scale fisheries (SSF) is challenged with huge Post-Harvest Fish Loss (PHFL) along the supply chain from harvest to the consumption. Although, the United Republic of Tanzania is blessed with many different fish specifies which are characterized by different post-harvest handling and processes, and mixed fish and fish products loss and waste scenarios. This work found limitation of robust impact assessment and interventions to reduce food fish loss and waste for all value chains actors from harvest to consumption. This concludes that there is little information to inform policy makers, and recommend that more robust and harmonized evidences on FLW are needed.
