Synopsis (short abstract) 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 intergovernmental organisations participating in the project : Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, the Communeauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), the Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern Africa 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 wa ter 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 base.

    Project Formulation Framework for the Proposed Development Programme of Pilot Project URT/90/005. During the development phase, the programme will seek to address the integrated, multi-sectoral and interlinked problems of the households of the fishing /farming communities of the Lake Victoria coastline of Kagera. This will be achieved by seeking to improve the efficiency and incomes of existing artisanal fishermen and their families and establishing a catalytic and facilitating role in support of additional socio-economic and farming interventions. This aim will be achieved by implementing a "core" fisheries development programme that recognises the need for the fisheries sector to adopt a catalytic and facilitating role to bring development to these communities in fields outside their area of expertise.

    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 intergovernmental organisations participating in the project: B urundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communaute. 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 wate r 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 base. Traditional fish processors use pit ovens to smoke fish in the Kigoma region of Lake Tanganyika. The smoked product is of low quality and the smoking process consumes a lot of fuelwood. The paper reviews the attempts made by the FAO/Netherlands project in Kigoma in collaboration with the IFIP project, to improve the smoking of fish by introducing the chorkor smoker to the processors. It goes on to describe the chorkor smoker and how fish processing technology extension operations should be structured to meet the needs of the fishing community.
