Recent observations on the fisheries of Lake Tanganyika
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 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 wat er 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. This document on recent observations on the fisheries of Lake Tanganyika provides an update of information on recent fisheries development activities and common fisheries development problems in the lake area. Information on recent developments in the four countries were obtained directly or indirectly from IFIP project office and partly during a visit to the countries in September-November 1989 and completed through a review of recent documents.
