1. Improving Food Security and
Reducing Poverty through
intra-regional Fish Trade in
sub-Saharan Africa (Fish
Trade)

2. 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

3. Outputs of Fish Trade

4. The Four Corridors

5. 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
