Unlocking the Potential Contribution of Fisheries and Aquaculture to Agricultural Transformation in Africa: A Contribution to Mainstreaming Fisheries and Aquaculture into CAADP for Implementation of the Malabo Commitments

Abstract

Fisheries and aquaculture is a crucial sector with a role in contributing to the implementation of the Malabo Declaration commitments through the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP). The realization of this role has however, yet to be fully realised. In an attempt to address this, the African Union Development Agency-NEPAD (AUDA-NEPAD), constituted a team of fisheries and aquaculture experts to examine areas in which the sector can contribute to the ongoing agricultural reform process.
