African Platform for Regional Institutions in Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Systems (APRIFAAS) - Strategic Action Plan and Resource Mobilisation Strategy

Abstract

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.
