Assessment of National Fisheries-Aquaculture strategies and the National Agricultural Investment Plans in relation to the Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Egypt and Climate-Change Adaptation

Abstract

This report provides an integrated assessment of Egypt’s fisheries and aquaculture sector, including its structure, performance, governance, challenges, and opportunities. It explicitly aligns all findings with the African Union Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa (AU-PFRS). This assessment evaluates Egypt’s current policy direction in relation to the AU’s PFRs, identifies areas of alignment and misalignment, and provides priority actions to enhance sectoral governance, productivity, sustainability, and regional integration.
