    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 ntergovernmental organisations participating in the project: Bur undi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communaut6 Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), The Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African 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 water b odies; (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.

    La stratégie de développement pendant les années 60 et 70 était basée sur la philosophie selon laquelle les pays en développement manquaient de technologie perfectionnée et de capitaux pour accélérer leur développement. L'industrialisation était donc promue dans le but de tirer profit des aborïdantes ressources halieutiques alors disponibles. Cependant, l'essor économique escompté n'a pas eu lieu et l'approche de développement s'est tournée vers une stratégie rurale intégrée où l'accen t est mis sur la communauté tout entière. Cela visait à améliorer les revenus et la qualite de vie à travers l'assistance technique et la participation active de la population de pêcheurs et de la communauté.
