Report of the second technical consultation on the management of the fisheries of lakes Edwards and Mobutu (Kinshasa, 27-29 May 1991) Zaire

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: Bu rundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communauté 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 present document is the report of a Second Technical Consultation on lakes Edward and Mobutu Sese Seko organised by the Regional Project for Inland Fisheries Planning (IFIP) from 27 to 29 May 1991 at Kinshasa, Zaire. This report also contains a Protocol Agreement between the Republic of U ganda and the Republic of Zaire concerning the creation of a Special Joint Commission on Fisheries and a project document for the management and development of fisheries in Lake Edward and Lake Mobutu.
