    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 tergovernmental organisations participating in the project: Bur undi, 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 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 base.

    The second meeting of the EASTMED Permanent Working Group on Stock Assessment was held in Kavala (Greece) from 9 to 14 of September 2013. It was attended by experts from Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, and Turkey as well as FAO staff. The meeting had six main general objectives i) to identify surveys and fishery-dependent data collection projects carried out in the last 10 years in each country of Eastmed area; ii) to provide advice on how to increase the standardization between surveys c arried out in the Eastmed area; iii) to process with the raw data as collected through the pilot activities supported by the project and/or supported by the countries in the framework of the DCF, in order to produce stock assessments aiming to be presented in the GFCM WGs, iv) to make an effort to define a few shared stocks in order to monitor through the GFCM management plans, v) to discuss the possibility of establishing two WGs on stock assessment, one for demersals and one for small pelagics , vi) to define gaps existed in the sampling protocol which is used during the implementation of the pilot activities on data collection and decide on amendments. Furthermore five stock assessments were accomplished out and other preliminary analyses were carried out. The five stocks assessed, represented also by two Lessepsian species, showed a state of overfishing with the exception of Spicara smaris in GSA 25. The outcomes provided by such analyses will be presented during the next GFCM WG on demersal.
