African Platform for Regional Institutions in Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Systems (APRIFAAS) - Strategic Action Plan and Resource Mobilisation Strategy
(AU-IBAR, 2026) Chimatiro, Dr. Sloans; Tayali Analytics
The African Platform for Regional Institutions in Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Systems (APRIFAAS), created in 2015, is a dynamic network of specialised regional organisations dedicated to advancing fisheries, aquaculture and ocean governance in Africa. The Strategic Plan was developed through a consultative and participatory process. The process involved the following major activities: - literature review of APRIFAAS key documents, including those of the CAMFA 1 and 2, PFRS, AFRM; review of global literature of theoretical underpins of functional multi-stakeholder platforms with similar functions as APRIFAAS; design of a questionnaire and administrations of such questionnaire among the major stakeholders of APRIFAAS; and facilitation of a three-day strategy development workshop that was held during the 8th APRIFAAS General Assembly, production of draft strategic and resource mobilisation plan document, validation of draft strategic and resource mobilisation plan; and production of final strategic and resource mobilisation plan document.
Policy Orientation Paper: Regional MCS Systems for Protection of Aquatic Biodiversity and Environment towards healthy ecosystems and fish stocks in the IGAD Region
(AU-IBAR, 2026) Fulanda, Bernerd M.; Talma, Jude; Seisay, Mohamed; Mokenye, Joel; Guebama, Hellen; .Degen, Eshete; Anteneh, Wassie; Fortes, Delvis
Aquatic ecosystems across the IGAD region, encompassing the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Western Indian Ocean, major inland lakes such as Victoria and Turkana, and extensive transboundary river basins including the Nile, represent a critical foundation for food security, livelihoods, employment, and economic growth. These ecosystems support millions of people directly and indirectly through fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, and ecosystem services, while also contributing significantly to national economies and regional stability. However, their sustainability is increasingly under threat from a combination of anthropogenic and environmental pressures, most notably Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species, and the accelerating impacts of climate change.

Accelerating access to new veterinary trypanocides for Africa
(AU-IBAR, 2026) AU-IBAR; FAO; WAOH
African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT) severely impacts livestock productivity, rural livelihoods and food security across sub-Saharan Africa. Current treatment options are outdated, increasingly ineffective and in some cases unsafe. The emergence and spread of drug resistance frequently compounds these problems. Recent international initiatives have revived efforts to develop innovative, modern, efficient and safe products to prevent and treat AAT. This brief advocates for urgent engagement in regulatory support and coordinated stakeholder action to introduce a new generation of safe, effective, and sustainable veterinary trypanocides for African livestock systems, and to advance progress towards the development of vaccines.

The Pan-African Strategy for the Elimination of Rabies in Africa (PASERA) sets out clear priorities to accelerate progress, including coordinated mass dog vaccination, expanded access to post-exposure prophylaxis, strengthened surveillance and diagnostic systems, community engagement, and sustainable resource mobilization. It further emphasizes regional coordination, cross-border collaboration, and data-driven decision-making as critical enablers of success.
