AU-IBAR
This strategy for Knowledge Management, Advocacy, Visibility, and Communications within the RAFFS Project comprises several essential components:
1. Knowledge Management: This foundation
of the strategy equips decision-makers and
stakeholders with actionable insights through
robust knowledge management, grounded in
data and research.
2. Advocacy: Advocacy forms a pivotal pillar,
aiming to influence policymakers and shape
discourse around feed and fodder policies to
foster sustainability.
3. Visibility: This component serves as a bridge
connecting project activities with stakeholders
and the wider public, showcasing the RAFFS
Project’s impact and significance.
4. Communication: As the lifeblood of
the strategy, communication facilitates
engagement, knowledge dissemination, and
collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring
adaptability to sector needs.
In parallel, the strategy recognizes the vulnerability
of women in rural and informal sectors and
promotes their meaningful participation through
the African Women in Animal Resources Farming
and Agribusiness Network, contributing to genderinclusive
development.
2022-01-01T00:00:00ZThe first high-level coordination meeting of AU-IBAR with regional, national authorities, and partners: Harmonised and Collaborative Approach for Developing the Animal Resources SectorAU-IBARhttp://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/15602024-01-31T03:00:45Z2023-01-01T00:00:00ZThe first high-level coordination meeting of AU-IBAR with regional, national authorities, and partners: Harmonised and Collaborative Approach for Developing the Animal Resources Sector
AU-IBAR
The report encapsulates the virtual proceedings of the inaugural High-level Coordination Meeting of AU-IBAR held on November 24, 2023, focusing on fostering a collaborative approach to develop animal resources in Africa. The event, slated to be an annual occurrence, addressed crucial aspects like attracting investment, enhancing animal health, fostering innovation, and improving market access within livestock value chains. Outcomes included a comprehensive understanding of stakeholder roles, sustainable coordination mechanisms, and a transformative agenda for the Livestock Development Strategy for Africa (LiDeSA). Collaborative initiatives proposed by AU-IBAR, AU-PANVAC, and ILRI covered technical working groups, MOUs, ground assessments, and resource mobilization. Discussions addressed challenges and opportunities in Animal Health and Production, proposing interventions from community engagement to cross-border disease control. Key recommendations emphasized the continuation of high-level coordination meetings, sharing work plans, strategic planning, and increased awareness at both regional and country levels.

AU-IBAR
The African continent’s rich aquatic resource endowment creates the potential for the fisheries and
aquaculture sectors to significantly increase their contribution to food security, per capita fish consumption
and economic development. The sector, as a whole, is underperforming due to high post-harvest fish losses,
weak fisheries management, and the undeveloped state of the aquaculture industry. The African Union’s
Agenda 63, African Continent Free Trade Agreement (AfCTA), Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for
Fisheries and Aquaculture (PFRS) provide a policy framework to address the challenges and opportunities
within the sector. This policy brief considers contemporary and emerging issues in fisheries and aquaculture,
identifying key lessons and best practices which enable value chain development. The key recommendation
is to empower public-private-community institutions and collaboration at national and regional level to
build fishery and aquaculture value chains based on an integrated ‘blue economy’ approach.

Egyptian strategy 2023 for fish production is producing 3 Million metric tonnes, Egypt has achieved extraordinary success in developing its tilapia aquaculture sub-sector over the last two decades to a total production of 1.1 million metric tonnes in 2022, and the constituting 61% of national fish supply, 81% of African tilapia production and ranked as the third largest tilapia producer in the world. African countries with suitable inland water bodies are on the brink of a tilapia aquaculture boom which can be accelerated by learning from Egypt’s experience and expertise.
