No results found.At its Sixteenth Session, the Committee for Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture of Africa (CIFAA) suggested that its role and performance as a Regional Fishery Body (RFB) be re-examined. This request stemmed from the increasingly poor attendance at CIFAA meetings to such a point that quorum is sometimes not reached and the performance of the Committee is adversely affected. Accordingly, the Committee created an ad hoc Working Group to make recommendations on the future role of CIFAA and a meeting w as organised on 26-27 March 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa, to discuss its proposals. This meeting concluded that the CIFAA is important to the development of aquaculture and inland fisheries in Member States but that the body needs to be reformed and its institutional set-up and procedures strengthened. The importance of political commitment from Member Governments was stressed. It was requested that the current efforts with regard to the CIFAA reform be raised at forthcoming relevant meetings and that further guidance from the Ministers in charge of fisheries and aquaculture be provided. The meeting was organized and supported financially by the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP). -
