Reductions in these losses have been hampered by a lack of data and compounded by existing complexities in small-scale fisheries, including the multiplicity of species, fishing gear and methods, as well as the number of landing sites. Despite the numerous challenges, efforts have been made to develop methodologies to assess losses. Today, i t is widely acknowledged that three loss assessment methods (IFLAM, LT and QLAM) can be used to collect adequate data and information on post- harvest fish losses for rational practical interventions. The efficiency and effectiveness of these three methods could be further improved with the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) such as mobile phone technology. It was with this in mind that the FAO/SmartFish programme, in collaboration with the Fisheries Education and Training Agency in Tanzania, planned, organized and implemented a regional training workshop on post-harvest fish loss assessment methodology, which was held from 28 January to 2 February 2013 in the United Republic of Tanzania. The main objective of the training workshop was to disseminate technology-based post- harvest fish loss assessment methodology among key small-scale fisheries practitioners in the region. This activity is part of FAO/SmartFish initiatives to support beneficiary countries to reduce post- harvest losses and consequently improve the regional supply of fish and fish products. This competency-based training workshop had two principle learning outcomes: participants are able to carry out post-harvest fish loss assessments in small-scale fisheries; are able to record and send data to the database through the use of a mobile phone. To facilitate greater practical demonstrations, the majority of the training took place in the field, at fish landing sites and markets. Twenty-two particip ants from nine different countries took part in the workshop: Burundi, Djibouti, Kenya, North Sudan, Rwanda, South Sudan, Uganda, Madagascar and Tanzania. Resource persons were from FAO, SmartFish and FETA. -
