    The three papers in this volume were originally presented as a combined Uganda country paper at the FAO/UNDP Regional Workshop on Fisheries Statistics and Information Systems for Lake Victoria, held in Kampala during 26–29 June 1990 and organised by the Regional Project for Inland Fisheries Planning, Development and Management in Eastern/Central/ Southern Africa (RAF/87/099 --IFIP) in collaboration with the FISHIN Project (UGA/87/007). Statistics and information collection and management for Lak e Victoria - Uganda are examined in terms of: (a) the inventory of fishing factors; (b) catch/effort sampling; and (c) socio-economic data. Attention is given to: the design of and procdures for data collection; quality control; resources in terms of facilities and personnel; and shortcomings inherent to existing arrangements along with recommendations for their resolution.

    The Lake Victoria Nile perch (NP) fishery (fishing and post-harvest activities) is a significant contributor to the social and economic development of the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) Partner States (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda). The catch of NP has averaged 250 000 tonnes per annum for the last two decades. During the last decade, the fishery has faced serious problems of overcapitalisation and overfishing and high levels of non-compliance to regulations in the fishing and post-ha rvest sub-sectors. This has led to decreasing stock health resulting in an increased vulnerability of the resource base and suboptimal contribution of the fishery to the lake-side economies. A first specific Fishery Management Plan for the Nile perch Fishery (NPFMP1) covering the period 2009-2014 was developed in 2008 by LVFO. Other initiatives, both national and regional, aimed at reversing the Nile perch stock decline have also been promoted since 2008. The implementation of NPFMP1 and related initiatives has led to some progress in the management of the NP fishery; however gaps and weaknesses are still affecting the sustainability of the fishery and the full expression of social and economic benefits that could be derived from proper management of the fishery.
