Improving Food Security and

Reducing Poverty through

intra-regional Fish Trade in

sub-Saharan Africa (Fish

Trade)

Objectives of Fish Trade

The overall objective of this four-year action is to

improve food and nutritional security and reduce

poverty in sub-Saharan Africa by enhancing the

capacities of regional and pan-African

organizations to support their member states to

better integrate intra-regional fish trade into their

development and food security policy agendas

Outputs of Fish Trade

The Four Corridors

Contribution to the Pan African Policy

Framework and Reform Strategy

Responsible

and Equitable

Fish Trade

and

Marketing

To harness significantly the benefits of

Africa’s fisheries and aquaculture

endowments through accelerated trade

and marketing

• Improve and align trade systems between

Member States in the same REC

• Improve quality and safety of products to

better access regional and international

markets

• Enhance the capacity of fisheries and

aquaculture traders

• Put in place efficient fish trade information

systems

• Improve the capacity of countries to

implement traceability mechanisms

Strengthened

Regional and

Sub-regional

Cooperation

To strengthen South-South (bilateral

and regional) cooperation, and develop

coordinated mechanisms among RECs

and RFBs to ensure coherence of

fisheries policies and aquaculture

development and their adoption and

adaptation

• Establish and reinforce the role of RECs

and RFBs in regional economic integration

Improved food security and productive safety nets

Better Nutrition Resilience to stresses and

shocks

Level 1 – Agriculture’s Contribution to Economic Growth and Inclusive Development Assumption: Countries follow an agriculture-led, inclusive growth strategy for social, nutrition and

economic transformation.

Level 3: Strengthening Systemic Capacity for Effective Execution and Delivery of Results

Assumptions: Political leadership ensures conducive and stable policy environment, including sustained increase in

agriculture and related nutrition public sector investment

Main Assumptions: Systemic capacity for transforming agriculture as envisaged in Level 3 results is attained

2.1 Increased agricultural production productivity, diversity

and food safety

2.2 Better functioning agriculture and food markets & increased

intra/inter-regional trade,

2.3 Expanded local agro-industry and economic and nutritional value
