ProjectReport of the National Workshop on Fishery Statistics and information systems (22-26 October 1990, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) 1990
Also available in:
No results found.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 Organization 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 organizations participating in the project: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communauté 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 respec t to shared water 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 database. -
Book (stand-alone)Report of the Workshop on Climate Proofing Aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa: Review of Policies and Production Systems for Climate Change Resilience, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 9-10 June 2016 2017

No results found.Regionally across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry with its practices and operations increasingly more commercialized across the continent. An estimated six-fold production increase, from 55,690 tonnes in 2000 to 359,790 tonnes in 2010 was recorded. This trend is expected to increase as the continent’s aquaculture operations develops and industrializes. This inevitable production increase and consequent intensification will predominantly be based on fossil fuel s. The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the FAO have entered an agreement to improve the implementation and management of existing critical climate change gaps. The series of projects aims to improve global understanding of climate change impact on fisheries and aquaculture development and highlight regional climate change adaptation measures taken on food systems and food security across the Africa region. Together, the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Center’s WorldFi sh and FAO-RAF (Regional Africa Office) have conducted an assessment of the region’s aquaculture development and climate change impact adaptation status under two project scopes: (i) a policy review; this component presents a diagnosis of the existing/non-existing African climate change policies related to aquaculture, the sector’s resiliency and aims to lay bare a regional overview. (ii) a vulnerability assessment model exercise; this exercise utilizes numerous datasets (i.e. meteorological, aq uaculture, and socio-economic variables) and inputs from country representative deliberations from a validation workshop. The exercise simulated the vulnerability of regional pond aquaculture systems to climate change impact, however it was agreed that due to data gaps at the country level, the deliberated simulation conclusions were not conclusive and unable to guide climate change adaptation policies. More importantly, the process highlighted what was required at the national level to make mor e realistic and conclusive assessments for tangible adaptation policies. Together, the policy review and the vulnerability assessment tool demonstrated the required country level actions necessary to prioritize action areas to develop and put in place climate change impact strategies. -
Book (series)Report of the African Regional Workshop on Development of a Global Information System for Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (Incorporating a Review of Strategic Priorities for a Global Plan of Action), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2–4 December 2019 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This workshop was the first of a series of regional meetings to generate feedback on the Registry of Farmed Types of Aquatic Genetic Resources (AqGR), being developed by FAO in response to a request from the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Commission). The workshop was supported by a grant from the Government of Germany and also included an activity seeking feedback on an outline of a Global Plan of Action for AqGR, also requested by the Commission. The objectives of the workshop were to: promote standardized use of nomenclature and terminology in the descriptions and categorization of AqGR, especially below the level of species (i.e. farmed types); to identify the priority regional stakeholders in an information system, specifically a Registry of Farmed Types of AqGR; to evaluate the key elements of the prototype Registry using regionally relevant species and their farmed types; review, for each of the four Priority Areas of the Global Plan of Action (GPA), the Strategic Priorities (SPs) and identifying possible activities under each SP; and identify potential indicators for the effective monitoring of AqGR within a future GPA.
