FishGov2 Key Achievements and Remaining Priorities
(AU-IBAR, 2026) AU-IBAR
The FishGov2 initiative has played an important role in advancing fisheries governance, strengthening institutional capacity, and promoting the sustainable management and development of fisheries and aquatic resources. This book, FishGov2: Key Achievements and Remaining Priorities, presents an overview of the initiative’s major accomplishments, lessons learned, and outstanding challenges in improving fisheries governance and supporting sustainable livelihoods across the fisheries sector. It highlights progress in strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, enhancing stakeholder participation, promoting regional cooperation, improving fisheries management practices, and supporting the development of sustainable and inclusive fisheries and aquaculture value chains. Particular attention is given to the engagement of governments, fisheries institutions, fishing communities, women, youth, and other relevant stakeholders in governance processes and decision-making. The book also examines persistent challenges, including institutional and financial constraints, limited enforcement of fisheries regulations, illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, inadequate data and information systems, climate change impacts, and barriers to equitable participation and benefit-sharing. Drawing on the experiences and outcomes of FishGov2, it identifies priority actions for consolidating achievements, addressing implementation gaps, strengthening institutional sustainability, and enhancing coordination among stakeholders. The book provides a foundation for informed policy dialogue, strategic planning, and future interventions aimed at building resilient, inclusive, and sustainable fisheries systems. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of translating governance reforms and project achievements into lasting institutional improvements, improved livelihoods, enhanced food and nutrition security, and the sustainable utilization of aquatic resources for present and future generations.
Accélérer l’accès aux nouveaux trypanocides vétérinaires en Afrique
(FAO, 2026) FAO; WOAH; AU-IBAR
La trypanosomose animale africaine (TAA) nuit gravement à la productivité de l’élevage, aux moyens de subsistance ruraux et à la sécurité alimentaire dans toute l’Afrique subsaharienne. Les traitements actuellement disponibles sont obsolètes, de moins en moins efficaces et, dans certains cas, dangereux. L’apparition et la propagation de la résistance aux médicaments aggravent souvent ces problèmes. Des initiatives menées récemment à l’échelle internationale ont donné une nouvelle impulsion aux efforts faits pour mettre au point des produits novateurs, modernes, efficaces et sans danger en vue de prévenir et de traiter la TAA. Ce document d’orientation montre pourquoi il est urgent de prêter un appui en matière de réglementation et de coordonner l’action des parties prenantes afin d’introduire une nouvelle génération de trypanocides vétérinaires efficaces, durables et sans danger destinés aux systèmes d’élevage africains. Le document a également pour objet d’encourager les progrès dans la mise au point de vaccins.
First Steering Committee Meetings of the Regional Aquatic Animal Health Networks for North Africa and Southern Africa: 24th June, 2025, World Aquaculture Safari Kampala, Uganda
(AU-IBAR, 2025-06-24) AU-IBAR
The First Steering Committee Meetings of the Regional Aquatic Animal Health Networks for North Africa and Southern Africa were held on 24 June 2025 during the World Aquaculture Safari in Kampala, Uganda. The meetings brought together representatives and stakeholders involved in aquatic animal health, fisheries and aquaculture to establish a framework for strengthening regional collaboration and coordination. Discussions focused on the establishment and operationalization of the regional networks, priority aquatic animal health challenges, disease surveillance and reporting, biosecurity, capacity development, information and knowledge sharing, and mechanisms for effective regional cooperation. The meetings provided an important platform for identifying common priorities, strengthening linkages among national aquatic animal health systems, and promoting coordinated approaches to the prevention, detection and management of aquatic animal diseases. The Steering Committees also considered areas for joint action and future activities to support sustainable aquaculture development and improve aquatic animal health management in the two regions. The outcomes of these inaugural meetings provide a foundation for continued collaboration among countries and partners and for the development of resilient regional aquatic animal health systems in North and Southern Africa.
Stronger Together From Strategy to Action: World Rabies Day 28 September 2026
(AU-IBAR, 2026-09-28) AU-IBAR; Salih, Huyam
In this World Rabies Day 2026 message, themed "Stronger Together: From Strategy to Action", the Director of AU-IBAR, Dr Huyam Salih, presents the Pan-African Strategy for the Elimination of Rabies in Africa (PASERA) 2026–2030. PASERA is the continent's common framework for eliminating dog-mediated human rabies by 2030. It is aligned with the United Against Rabies Global Strategic Plan and anchored in AU Agenda 2063, the Animal Health Strategy for Africa and the AU Zoonotic Disease Prevention and Control Strategy (2025–2029). The message sets out what "Stronger Together" means in practice for Member States, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), AU technical institutions, technical and development partners, and communities. It also outlines PASERA's seven interconnected priorities: coordination and policy harmonisation surveillance, diagnostics and data community awareness and engagement mass dog vaccination and dog population management access to post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and integrated bite management sustainable financing and partnerships evidence, research and innovation The Director calls on stakeholders to replace parallel efforts with connected, collaborative action. They are asked to align current and planned interventions with PASERA and to turn continental commitment into measurable progress towards a rabies-free Africa.
