Alignment of Zambian NAIP to Fisheries and Aquaculture Strategies and Investment Plans to the PFRS, Environmental Management and Climate-Change Adaptation Action Plans
(AU-IBAR, 2024) Phiri, Dr. Harris
Agriculture and agribusiness play an important role in Zambian economy, contributing around 20 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in recent years and about 12 percent of national export earnings. Agriculture employs nearly 70 percent of the labour and remains the main source of income and employment for most of the people living in the rural areas. The Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) is Africa’s policy framework for agricultural transformation, wealth creation, food and nutritional security, and economic growth. At the launch of the CAADP in Malabo, AU-Heads of State committed themselves to reducing levels of poverty, ending hunger on the continent and tripling intra-African trade in agricultural goods, among others by 2025.

Alignment of Lesotho National Fisheries and Aquaculture Strategies and the National Agricultural Investment Plans to the Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa and Climate - Change Adaptation Including Formulation of Recommendations for Domestication of Relevant Global Instruments
(AU-IBAR, 2025) Monongoaha, Palesa
Lesotho’s fisheries and aquaculture sector, though relatively small, has significant potential due to the country’s extensive freshwater resources. However, its growth and sustainability are hindered by several structural and policy challenges. The sector currently lacks a dedicated national policy and regulatory framework, with governance relying on outdated legislation, including the Freshwater Fish Protection Proclamation of 1951. Institutional weaknesses, limited monitoring and surveillance mechanisms, and insufficient integration of climate change adaptation strategies further constrain sustainable fisheries management. In addition, the sector faces barriers to market access, weak value chain development, and limited engagement with small-scale fishers, women, and youth.
