Book (stand-alone)Technical bookOptions to reduce IUU fishing in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zanzibar 2011
Also available in:
No results found.This Report is in support of the EU/COI SMARTFiSH Programme’s Result Area 2, which is to improve the Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) of fisheries in the western Indian Ocean and the Great Lakes. The overall objective of this report is to contribute to the reduction of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in the target countries of Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania (URT), but with a particular emphasis on unreported and unregulated fishing. Four main fisher ies are covered; the EEZ Tuna fisheries, the fisheries of Lake Victoria, the near-shore Industrial Prawn fishery and Coastal Artisanal fisheries. There is a particular focus on the small-scale fisheries operating along the coast and on Lake Victoria. The Report describes the current scope of data provision, management and use in these fisheries, and the fisheries management challenges faced by the three target countries, and it concludes with a number of recommendations for SMARTFiSH programmes intervention The report was prepared largely on the basis of interviews conducted in-country with officers from the respective fisheries departments and on the contents of literature provided by them. In addition, representatives of national research organisations, the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation and NGOs working on the coast were also able to communicate their perspective and current contributions to fisheries management and the reduction of IUU fishing. The management of EEZ tuna fish eries is the responsibility of the Deep-sea Fishing Authority (DSFA) in the URT. Although fisheries are generally not a Union issue, the recently operational DSFA represents both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar’s interests in EEZ fisheries management. In Kenya responsibility lies with the Ministry of Fisheries Development (KMFD), which is headquartered in Nairobi but has an important office in Mombasa. At a regional level, stock assessment work is undertaken by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (I OTC), of which both Kenya and URT are members. The provision of accurate and timely fisheries data to the IOTC is a sine qua non for the future sustainability of the tuna fisheries in the Indian Ocean and although data are also passed directly to the IOTC by fishing companies, it is important that member states have independent data sets to evaluate the performance of the fishery in their respective EEZs. This will become particularly relevant if national quotas become the favoured management ap proach in the region. -
DocumentOther documentImproving tenure security for the poor in Africa: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda - Case Study
Formalization and its prospects
2006Also available in:
No results found.This paper identifies the key issues of land tenure security for the rural poor, vulnerable and marginalized in the East African countries of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The report finds that most of these issues are common across the three countries, both in terms of the challenges that the communities face and imperatives that inform policy interventions and responses. In all three countries, customary and statutory systems operate side by side and, in all three, there is a tendency for policy and legislative frameworks to privilege the modern systems of property relations over traditional ones, even as national rhetoric indicates recognition and support for the latter. The paper concludes that formalization has not always benefited the rural poor. Instead, an elite minority has tended to benefit from reforms while the majority of the poor and vulnerable end up worse off as institutions and systems that supported their livelihoods and gave them a sense of security are marginalized and replaced by modern institutions. -

No results found.The Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) and FAO National Stakeholders’ Workshops on Fishing Effort and Capacity on Lake Victoria (2006) were held to: (i) develop a shared understanding amongst participants regarding the LVFO Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity in Lake Victoria and its Basin (LVFO RPOA-Capacity) and the use of rights-based management approaches as a vehicle for ensuring the sustainable utilization of fisheries resources; (ii) provide f eedback regarding the LVFO RPOA-Capacity as input for the Regional RPOA-Capacity Workshop; (iii) outline steps for the development and implementation of National Plans of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity; and (iv) provide stakeholder-generated advice regarding improving tenure security for fishers on Lake Victoria and its basin to be used at the FAO Regional Workshop on Improving Tenure Security for the Rural Poor (Nakuru, Kenya). The results of the workshops included acti ons for progressing work on the management of fishing capacity as well as guidance for the development of a LVFO RPOA-Capacity. This document contains the report of the workshops as well as information provided by the participants. This document and the actions adopted by the workshop participants can serve as a basis for further work aimed at improving regional fisheries management and the management of fishing capacity.
