Synopsis (short abstract) The IFIP project started in January 1989 with the main objective of promoting a more effective and rational exploitation of the fisheries resources of major water bodies of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. The project is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), and funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for a duration of four years. There are eleven countries and three intergovernmental organisations participating in the project : Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, the Communeauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), the Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern Africa States (PTA) and the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC). The immediate objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen regional collaboration for the rational development and management of inland fisheries, particularly with respect to shared wa ter bodies; (ii) to provide advisory services and assist Governments in sectoral and project planning; (iii) to strengthen technical capabilities through training; and (iv) to establish a regional information base.

    Project Formulation Framework for the Proposed Development Programme of Pilot Project URT/90/005. During the development phase, the programme will seek to address the integrated, multi-sectoral and interlinked problems of the households of the fishing /farming communities of the Lake Victoria coastline of Kagera. This will be achieved by seeking to improve the efficiency and incomes of existing artisanal fishermen and their families and establishing a catalytic and facilitating role in support of additional socio-economic and farming interventions. This aim will be achieved by implementing a "core" fisheries development programme that recognises the need for the fisheries sector to adopt a catalytic and facilitating role to bring development to these communities in fields outside their area of expertise.

    The 1973 fishery census of Indonesia was undertaken by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) in close collaboration with the Directorate General of Fisheries (DGF). It primarily covered the marine fishery and brackish water fish culture in Sumatra, Java and Bali. However, owing to the poor coverage of the marine fisheries using powered boats, the CBS fishery census was supplemented by an additional marine fishery census undertaken by the DGF. Both censuses were taken by means of sample census s urveys, as described in this report. The main characteristics of the fishery census are: The CBS fishery census was undertaken within the framework of the 1973 agriculture census, and therefore took full advantage of the findings of the latter. As a result, not only the total population size was known in magnitude, which was needed for the calculation of estimates in the sample censuses, but also a useful sampling frame for subsequent surveys became available. The design of the census ques tionnaires was made by taking into account the tabulation programme and subsequent data analysis. This made it possible to make useful analyses of the findings. Until data from the fishery census became available, very little was known statistically about the fisheries in Indonesia. A full analysis of the census data provided a good deal of useful information which is indispensable for the planning and other aspects of the national fishery development programme. The report explains how the 1 973 fishery census of Indonesia was undertaken. The census methodology adopted was not always ideal and several simple but basic difficulties were encountered. These are illustrated herein. This report should be useful in the planning and implementation of similar census operations in other countries.
