    This report addresses a key result area of the SmartFish programme. Component 4 identifies a ‘Trade Readiness Document (TRD)’ as the main output in this context. From the points of view of generating regional value added and to support food security, intra-regional trade in fish products should be encouraged and expanded. The TRD study aims to assist the process of enhancing regional trade in fish products by improving Trade Readiness in the 20 SmartFish countries. The report is, however, a pilo t study based on work in four selected countries. The findings would then be used to design and carry out a full study of the 20 countries based on an adapted Trade Readiness Questionnaire (TRQ). The main activities included discussions with public sector authorities that constitute the trade enabling environment, and interviews with the private sector operators active in the fish product value chain. Region Economic Communities (RECs) such as COMESA and IOC have been consulted regarding strateg ic visions, to ensure that the outcome of the TRD study is in tandem. Additional information and ideas have been extrapolated from other SmartFish interventions and from broader assessments made by international bodies to deepen context.

    Partners Meeting on Fisheries Strategy for the ESA-IO Region 2012

    The SmartFish Programme has, as its main objective, to support the implementation of a regional fisheries strategy for the ESA-IO region. This is based on the strategies of IOC and other regional bodies, as well as related documentation such as the specific ‘fisheries chapter’ endorsed by other RECs within the framework of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations. Efforts have also been deployed over the last two years by the AU-NEPAD which will lead to the adoption of an overall se ctoral strategy for the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture in Africa, which is called the Comprehensive African Fisheries Reform (CAFRS).
