Fish Trade Facilitation

This Policy Brief is the consolidation of the outcomes of the deliberations of the African Fisheries Reform Mechanism (AFRM) Working Groups and the Think Tank Executive Committee inaugural meetings and workshops organized by African Union-Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resource (AU-IBAR) in collaboration with AUDA-NEPAD, held in Abidjan Cote D’Ivoire from 7th to 11th March 2022. During these meetings, the AFRM Working Groups identified and prioritised key issues that need to be addressed for effective facilitation of the development of fisheries and aquaculture sector. The Fish Trade and Enterprise Development Working Group identified and prioritized “Fish Trade Facilitation” as the main area of policy concern for the development of a policy brief. This Policy Brief on Fish Trade Facilitation, has therefore been prepared from the deliberations and inputs of the Think Tank Executive Committee.
