Abstract
This Technical Report reviews the current status of Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS)
in East Africa in order to provide a baseline document of relevant information and knowledge
that will enable the implementation of an effective system in the region. The specific objectives
addressed in this document include: an examination of the legal framework for MCS; review of
regional policies and arrangements; identification and assessment of the capacity of East African
States; identification of challenges related to capacity building; and proposals for an effective
regional or sub-regional framework. This work was done under the project 'Strengthening Institutional Capacity to enhance governance' (FishGov1)
of the fisheries sector in Africa
