Feasibility of inland aquaculture and small reservoir fisheries, Namibia
1994Also available in:
No results found.The physical resource base and the socio-economic setting of Namibia are described, along with the present status of agriculture, reservoir fisheries and aquaculture. Three opportunities are identified for the development of aquaculture and small reservoir fisheries: low-intensive aquaculture in the north, primarily in Okavango, secondarily in Owambo; subsistence and commercial fishing in central and southern and state dams, where the fishery resource is strong and virtually unexploited; private aquaculture ventures in central and southern dams, and irrigation schemes, including stimulation of private dam fisheries. A strategy is outlined for aquaculture and small reservoir fisheries development. Some of the main elements are: compare the costs and benefits of marketing marine fish and producing freshwater fish; encourage fish production (both from aquaculture and from small reservoir fisheries) in priority areas where demand exists and resources are present; utilize existing extensi on services to encourage fish production in priority areas; find economic ways to exploit state dams; monitor the development of small-holder irrigated agriculture schemes in the south for possible aquaculture and small reservoir fisheries activities in the future. Several ideas for projects which would enhance the strategy are outlined. These include an economic study of fish supply and demand, and of the socio-economic benefits of inland aquaculture; technical assistance to the aquaculture a ctivities of Oxfam Canamco, Okavango; integration of aquaculture into agriculture and rural development extension services, Owambo; promotion of fishing in selected state dams. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators 2025 2025The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the 2030 Agenda is now more crucial than ever, as the target date draws near and many goals are still far from being achieved. Countries across the globe are grappling with an array of complex and interconnected challenges, including ongoing conflicts, health crises, biodiversity loss, the escalating impacts of climate change, and political and economic tensions. FAO is the custodian agency for 22 SDG indicators spanning Goals 2, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15. Among its key responsibilities as a custodian agency is to curate the indicator methodologies, collect, harmonize and compile data from countries, as well as disseminate and analyse data at global level. This report provides an analysis of regional and global figures and trends for the 22 SDG indicators under FAO's responsibility, thus fulfilling one of FAO’s key roles as custodian agency. The world is at a moderate distance from achieving roughly half of the food and agriculture-related SDG indicators under FAO custodianship; one-quarter of the indicators are close to being achieved, whereas another quarter remains far or very far from being achieved. Meanwhile, progress since 2015 has deteriorated on over three-fifths of the indicators; one indicator has stagnated; whereas only the remaining one-third of indicators have registered an improvement or slight improvement.
