Synopsis (short abstract) The regional workshop, entitled “Engaging agriculture, forestry and fisheries in support to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” was held in Kigali, Rwanda from 19 to 21 September 2016. This event served as an opportunity for FAO to engage more effectively with countries in Africa, through its delivery mechanisms, on changes needed to achieve the SDGs. The purpose of the workshop was to identify priorities for action in the context of the Africa Agricultural Transformation Agenda throug h FAO’s Regional Initiative 2 (RI2) on “Sustainable Intensification of Production and Value Chain Development in Africa.” The four areas of focus of the workshop – sustainable intensification, value chain development, poverty reduction, and nutrition – are the pillars around which the discussions were organized.

    This brief presents an overview of the inland capture fisheries sector in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), describes historical and current trends, highlights management successes and failures, identifies common constraints and opportunities, and provides recommendations to ensure that the full potential of the sector is realised. Inland capture fisheries in the SADC region are estimated to support over a million people and contribute significantly to food and nutrition security, employment, livelihoods, and human welfare. They also provide a range of important socio-cultural and ecosystem services that contribute directly to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These benefits are particularly important in a region that faces a number of dire socioeconomic challenges including extreme poverty, acute malnutrition, and a lack of alternative livelihoods.
