0.1 Em ingles

The overall purpose of this project is to support the SADC countries of the Zambezi Basin to identify key stakeholders and define priorities and main actions for the start up of a Regional Technical Programme (RTP) to – strengthen co‐management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin. This Programme has been identified as a priority of the SADC and approved by the Ministerial Meeting on Natural Resources and Environment held on 16 July 2010 in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. The initial RTP was later restructured to enable more efficient resource mobilization in January 2012 and later developed into this Project concept note at a workshop held in Kasane, Botswana from the 27‐30 August 2012 with funding support from the European Union, this workshop and the preparations for the workshop were the work of this Project of the ACP Fish II Programme. The goal of the RTP is to support the objectives and the SADC and specifically to support the implementation of the SADC Protocol on Fisheries through enhancing regional food security and rural economic growth, through two linked projects: Strengthening Co‐Management of Shared Fisheries Resources in the Zambezi River Basin and Enhancing Value Chain Gains of the Shared Fisheries Resources in the Zambezi River Basin. Prior to the workshop in Kasane, briefing material was prepared and distributed along with a questionnaire about the information and knowledge required to strengthen the fisheries co‐management of the Zambezi Basin. Then a workshop was held in Kasane, Botswana from the 27 to 30 August 2012, hosted by the SADC Secretariat. 38 people attended the workshop from six of the countries of the Zambezi Basin and 12 programmes or organizations with an interest in the Basin. The workshop provided a platform to engage various stakeholders including and representatives from fisheries departments, local communities, research and academic institutions, traditional authorities NGOs and other partners representing regional programmes and initiatives. The output from the workshop was an agreed way forward including: identification of challenges for co‐management of the Zambezi Basin, key objectives and expected results required to improve the co‐management, with identified actions and a workplan and associated stakeholder groups. A concept note was drafted that describes the requirements to strengthening co‐management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi River Basin. The goal is: to enhance the contribution of fisheries to the regional food security and rural economic growth in the Zambezi basin. While the purpose is: to establish productive and resilient fisheries in the Zambezi Basin. Five results were identified and a workplan covering six years and the required stakeholders was identified.



0.2 Em Português

Este projecto tem por objectivo geral apoiar os Estadso membros da SADC da bacia do Zambeze a identificar os principais parceiros, definir prioridades e principais acções para o arranque do Programa Técnico Regional (RTP) visando – Fortalecer a co‐gestão e a cadeia de valor dos recursos pesqueiros partilhados da bacia do Zambeze. Importa referir que este programa foi aprovado na Reunião dos Ministros Responsáveis pelos Recursso Naturais e Ambiente que teve lugar a 16 de Julho de 2010 em Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe e foi identificado como sendo prioritário para a SADC. O Programa Técnico Regional (RTP) que tinha sido inicialmente aprovado foi posteriormente reestruturado com vista a permitir uma eficiente mobilização de recursos em Janeiro de 2012 e consequentemente a elaboração do presente documento conceptual do projecto na oficina que teve lugar em Kasane, Botswana de 27‐30 de Agosto de 2012 com o apoio financeiro da União Europeia. Este workshop e a respectiva preparação foram acções deste projecto do Programa ACP Fish II. Os objectivos do Programa Técnico Regional (RTP) é sobretudo apoiar os objectivos da própria SADC e especificamente apoiar a implementação do Protocolo das Pescas da SADC através da melhoria da segurança alimentar regional e crescimento económico rural através de dois projectos interligados: Fortalecendo a co‐gestão dos recursos pesqueiros partilhados da bacia do Rio Zambeze e Melhoria dos benefícios da cadeia de valor dos recursos pesqueiros partilhados da bacia do Rio. Antes da oficina de Kasane, foi preparado e distribuido material informativo e questionário relativamente a informação e conhecimento necessaries para fortalecer a co‐gestão das pescarias da Bacia do Zambeze. Em seguida, a oficina teve lugar em Kasane, Botswana de 27 a 30 de Agosto de 2012, tendo o Secretariado da SADC acolhido a mesma. Trinta e oito (38) pessoas de seis Estados da Bacia do Zambeze e 12 programas e organizações com interesse na Bacia participaram nesta oficina. A oficina proporcionou as bases para o cometimento de vários parceiros e representantes dos departamentos de pesca, comunidades locais, instituições de pesquisa e académicas, autoridades tradicionais, Organizações Não Governamentais (ONG’s) e outros parceiros representando programas e iniciativas regionais. Como resultado da oficina foi acordado o caminho a seguir incluindo: identificação dos desafios para a co‐gestão da Bacia do Zambeze, objectivos principais e resultados esperados e necessários para melhorar a co‐gestão, com acções identificadas, plano de trabalho e grupo de parceiros associados. Foi elaborado um documento conceptual que descreve os requisites necessaries para o fortalecimento da co‐gestão dos recursos pesqueiros partilhados da bacia do Rio Zambeze. A meta é: Fortalecer a contribuição das pescas na segurança alimentar regional e crescimento económico da bacia do Zambeze. Enquanto o objectivo é: Estabelecer pescarias produtivas e resistentes da bacia do Zambeze. Foram identificados cinco resultados e um plano de trabalho para um período de seis anos e parceiros necessários foram, igualmente, identificados.



1 Antecedentes

A Bacia do Zambeze com uma área de 1,39 milhões de km2 abrange oito países: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Moçambique, Namíbia, Tanzânia, Zâmbia e Zimbabwe. Com cerca de 40 milhões de pessoas, nela encontram‐se importantes recursos pesqueiros das águas continentais da África Austral, proporcionando renda, alimentos e meios de subsistência para muitas pessoas da região.

Todo o sistema de pesca ‐ desde a produção à comércilização ‐ é susceptivel de uma série de vicissitudes decorrentes quer do facto humano quer natural: Essas vicissitudes ameaçam os benefícios proporcionados pelos recursos pesqueiros. Em resposta, os oito países ribeirinhos estão aumentando seus esforços individualmente e em conjunto visando para salvaguardar o futuro das pescarias. Este projecto faz parte deste esforço, ajudando a SADC a identificar as principais partes interessadas e definir prioridades e as principais acções para o arranque do Programa Técnico Regional (RTP) para ‐ fortalecer a co‐gestão e a cadeia de valor dos recursos pesqueiros partilhados na bacia do Zambeze.

O contrato para esta trabalho financiado pelo projeto ACP Fish II da União Europeia (UE) foi adjudicado a NFDS África. A equipe de consultores da NFDS foi composta por Sandy Davies líder da equipe e especialista da pesca em águas continentais e Ulrika Egner Coordenadora dos eventos, ambas apoiadas por Sinead Sheridan e James Abbott e Mercy Mangena. O contrato foi assinado a 23 de Maio e estará em execução por um período de cinco (5) meses, i.e., até 24 de Outubro de 2012.

2 Abordagem aos objectivos

O trabalho começou com uma reunião entre a líder da equipa da NFDS África (Sandy Davies) acompanhada pela Assistente de Pesquisa (Sinead Sheridan) e o Secretariado da SADC (Sr. Nyambe Nyambe, Oficial Sénior dos Recursos Naturais) em Gaborone, Botswana, em 28 de Maio de 2012. Neste encontro foram discutidos e acordados detalhes do projecto e as datas para a oficina, tendo sido indicada a data de 27‐30 de Agosto de 2012, em Kasane, Gaborone. A líder da equipa de consultores da NFDS África, teve, igualmente a oportunidade de reunir‐se com a Senhora Margaret Nyirenda, Directora de FANR no Secretariado da SADC para discutir o projecto.

A equipe de consultores da NFDS, incluindo a senhora Ulrika Egner (Coordenadora de Eventos), trocaram comunicações electrónicas (e‐mail) com o Sr. Leone Tarabusi da Unidade Regional de Facilitação do Programa ACP Fish II (RFU) baseado em Maputo e o senhor Nyambe do Secretariado da SADC com alguns subsídios da Sra. Flávia Reale do Programa ACP Fish II em Bruxelas, tudo visando dar o pontapé de saída do projecto.



Os consultores da NFDS África visando responder a abordagem constante do relatório inicial dedicou‐se na preparação do material informativo necessário (em anexo), no entanto, houve desafios na perseguição deste objectivo pois os detalhes do RTP somente foram disponibilizados antes da oficina. Seguidamente no segundo dia da oficina, nova informação veio à superfície, e segundo a qual a essência do RTP devia ser dividida em dois projectos ao invés dos quatro projectos inicialmente previstos. Isso veio a mudar as condições técnicas do encontro, que estava centrado nas informações e conhecimento em co‐gestão para uma abordagem mais geral sobre co‐gestão incluindo elementos de política, mudanças climáticas e sem muita necessidade de antecedentes de informação e conhecimento.

A abordagem do trabalho foi, então, orientada pelo Sr. Leone Tarabusi coordenador da Unidade do Programa ACP Fish II, baseado em Maputo, que estava presente na reunião. Os consultores deram do seu melhor para que estas mudanças, os conselhos do Sr. Tarabusi e a reunião continuassem a ser um sucesso até o final. Após a reunião, foi elaborado um documento conceptual para incorporar a nova componente do programa e respectivos Termos de Referência dos consultores foram ajustados para acomodar as alterações.

1.3 Relevant country background

The GDP for the region is around USD 186 billion for a combined population of approximately 76 million people. The average GDP growth rate is of 2%, and originates mainly from primary sectors namely agriculture and mining. Even if the level of per capita income varies between different countries (from $8,560 in Seychelles to $ 256 in Malawi, 2007), it has been declining in most countries over the last three decades. In many countries most of the population lives below the poverty line, generally in rural areas, relying mostly on agriculture and informal economic activities. Fisheries in southern African countries are characterised by differing contexts and socio-economic environments, varying from small-scale and artisanal fisheries in countries such as Mozambique, Angola, Zambia and Malawi, to the tuna fishery industry in the EEZ across the Indian Ocean or the fish export industries in Namibia. Fisheries contribute differently to local GDP, varying from 0.002% of GDP in Botswana to 6.5 % in Namibia. The number of fishers is estimated to be more than 290,000 people, and the sector is a significant source of employment, significantly contributing to the local economy as well as to food security. The region is characterised by the presence of countries with long coast lines and/or large EEZ such as Mozambique, Namibia, Angola, Mauritius and Seychelles where fisheries have a big commercial importance, for its stocks (hake and horse mackerel in the Atlantic and tuna and prawns in the Indian Ocean) and landlocked countries with important inland fisheries such as those in Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganiyka, Lake Kariba, Zambesi river basin and Okavango Delta. Fishing in these areas represents an important source of income, employment and food security for the rural population.

1.4 Current state of affairs in the relevant sector

The Zambezi Basin comprises some of Southern Africa’s most important water and fishery resources. They provide economic, food security, social and environmental benefits to about 40 million people living in the Basin and some more outside the area. The Basin covers eighth countries (Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe) with an area of 1.39 million km2 from which over at least 100,000 km2 seasonally under water. Total fish production of the Zambezi system is estimated at over 500,000 metric tons annually, many of which is unrecorded, and more than 500,000 people are directly dependent on fisheries for their livelihoods. Situation of the resources is mostly unknown, as the basin encompasses Zambezi River and its various tributaires, where the assessment of stocks is difficult, and the main catchments (both man-made and natural. Situation in the catchments is controlled by the competent national and regional authorities and fishing effort is subject to regulation and monitoring. The resources in these water bodies and related benefit to the population are stable, providing no deregulation or natural and socio-economic conditions changes will occur. Among the main drivers of change are continued investments in hydro-energy infrastructure, increasing irrigation development and land use changes, growing populations and urbanization, increasing investments in aquaculture in several parts of the Basin, expanding regional markets and trade of fish and fish products, and changing climatic conditions with rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns already having an impact on fisheries resources. The entire fishery system – from production to trade – therefore needs to be resilient and able to adapt to such changes in order to have a sustainable future. In response to increased threats, the eight riparian countries – Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe – have increased their efforts to safeguard the future of fisheries. Although progress has been achieved in many places, it has remained local and fragmented and has not a significant impact at regional level. Over the last few years, these experiences have been discussed in several regional fora where recommendations were developed for a concerted and targeted effort to improve management of the fisheries in the Zambezi Basin. Aligned with the Implementation Plan for the SADC Protocol on Fisheries, these recommendations emphasize the need for an approach that results in demonstrable reduction of poverty, improved food security and enhanced resilience of fisheries in the face of conflicts over resource access and use, climate change, new investments in water and energy sectors and other drivers of change. In order to support riparian countries and stakeholders to follow through with required actions, SADC proposed in 2009 a Regional Technical Programme (RTP) to generate common knowledge networks, to strengthen management and research capacities, and policy and investment options that will enable the long-term development of the shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi Basin. The RTP should be implemented through regional and site-specific components that will capture the main development challenges in the Basin. Sites in the RTP would be used as diagnostic sites for assessment and as platforms for testing and implementing new management and market tools and approaches. Basin-wide assessments, synthesis and dissemination and regional capacity building support will ensure that knowledge, technologies and management lessons from these sites can be applied in the wider region. SADC could not assure the financial support to cover the full implementation of the RTP (which had an estimated overall budget of US$ 28 million). With the agreement of the riparian beneficiary countries, the initial RTP was then splitted into two sub-programmes:

Co-Management of Zambezi Fisheries Resources and Improving Value Chain of Zambezi Fisheries Resources

Page 4 of 14

Consequently, the Objective 1 of the RTP, on knowledge and information base for adaptive co-management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin, has been splitted into the two above-mentioned sub-programmes. Because of the new approach, it became necessary to carry out the development of the Logical Framework of the Sub-programme nº1, Co-Management of Zambezi Fisheries Resources and providing the related Workplan.

1.5 Related programmes and other donor activities

Other donors are active in the southern African region in support of fisheries at a regional level. The main ongoing projects are:

The World Bank Lake Malawi/Niassa/Nyasa Conservation and Development Project, which aims at improving the livelihood of people living around the Lake and to improve natural resource management.

The Zambia Pilot Program for Climate Resilience - Phase I, funded by the World Bank. The project main sectors are: a) Water, sanitation and flood protection (34%); b) Agriculture, fishing, and forestry (33%); and c) Transportation (33%). The project started in 2010.

The FAO Special Programme for Aquaculture Development in Africa - SPADA, endorsed by AU/NEPAD, aims at promoting the drafting of national aquaculture strategies and national aquaculture plans which will identify specific sites as well as ways and means for investment.

The Southern Africa Regional Environmental Program (SAREP), funded by USAID. The programme in partnership with OKACOM, SADC and other agencies, provides assistance to improve regional cooperation in management of shared river basins with the goals to conserve and protect biological diversity and improve access to water supply and sanitation. SAREP will be implemented and funded under a framework USAID-SADC Agreement. The programme began in June 2010 and has a duration of 5 years

The ACP Fish II programme, operating through the Regional Facilitation Unit (RFU) in Maputo in the Southern Africa (SA) region, consisting of Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe respective fisheries administrations. Programme implementation also foresees coordination and collaboration with key Regional Fisheries Bodies (RFB), Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO) and Regional Economic Organization (REO) such as the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission (SWIOFC), the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO), the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). Under the specific framework of this programme, specific projects have been implemented such as

Elaboration of a management plan for the Kafue Fishery – Zambia and Support for Devising of the Aquaculture Development Strategy for Botswana and the development of outlines for the Fisheries Management Plan of the Okavango Delta

In carrying out the assignment, the consultant is expected to liaise with the aforementioned programmes or institutions when appropriate, in order to gather relevant information and to ensure cooperation with the projects/programmes and to avoid overlapping of activities.

2. OBJECTIVE, PURPOSE AND EXPECTED RESULTS

2.1 Overall objective

The overall objective of the ACP Fish II Programme is to contribute to the sustainable and equitable management of fisheries in ACP regions, thus leading to poverty alleviation and improving food security in ACP States.

2.2 Purpose

The purpose of this contract is to assist SADC in the implementation of Sub-programme nº1, “Co-Management of Zambezi Fisheries Resources” in the Zambezi Basin, supporting the development of planning tools for the start up phase.

2.3 Results to be achieved by the Consultant

The Consultant will achieve the following results as part of this assignment:

A new concept note and a Logical Framework for the SADC Sub-programme 1, “Co-Management of Zambezi Fisheries Resources” are proposed and approved;

Work plan and related timeline for the start up and implementation phases of the Sub-programme are devised and approved.

3. ASSUMPTIONS AND RISKS

3.1 Assumptions underlying project intervention

The need for support to the inception phase of the Sub-programme programme “Co-Management of Zambezi Fisheries Resources” in the Zambezi basin has been expressed by SADC focal point for ACP FISH II Programme and the riparian States at different stages during ACP FISH II priorities identification and regional Action Plan approval phases. Moreover all the Focal Points (FPs) of the concerned Fisheries Administrations (FAs) of the ACP FISH II SA region approved the implementation of such initiative during the periodical assessment and monitoring workshop of the ACP Fish II Programme held in Maputo in August-September 2010 and in March 2011. In these occasions the FPs also participated actively in the elaboration of the project ToR. The assumption is that the beneficiary states and stakeholders are well aware of the intervention and prepared to allocate official hours to its implementation.

3.2 Risk

Since ACP FISH II is a demand-driven Programme, it is expected that counterpart institutions take all the necessary measures to ensure the fulfilment of their obligations and responsibilities as set forth under this project. Failure to meet that requirement is likely to result in the project not achieving the expected results. The Republic of Zimbabwe, is also part of the SADC initiative, however, due to political situation in the country (article 96 of Cotonou), ACP Fish II cannot provide direct support to state representatives of this country at the identification workshop. In case alternative funding cannot be found to assure participation of state representatives of this country there is a risk of missing source of information in this process. However, the project can fund representatives from the private sector and the communities.

4. SCOPE OF THE WORK

4.1 General

4.1.1 Project description

The Zambezi Basin comprises some of Southern Africa’s most important water and fishery resources and provides economic, food security, social and environmental benefits to about 40 million people living in the Basin and for many others. The entire fishery system is very sensible and exposed to drivers of change related to economic activities developed in the area (fishing, agriculture, aquaculture, hydropower, etc), growing populations and urbanizations, changing of climatic conditions, etc. Therefore, there is a need to identify the conditions for the system being resilient and able to adapt to such change and to trigger economically and socially suitable development processes for the fisheries of this region. The project will support the start up operations of the SADC initiative called “Strengthening co-management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin”, within the Sub-programme 1, the first one in which the initial RTP has been split. Previous studies have been carried out for the identification phase of the RTP initiative, concerning the main existing drivers of change, under a national and regional approach. During that phase, a pre-selection of the main stakeholders in the various countries has been done as well but it will have to be confirmed, according to the relevance of the different concerned actors in each country. Starting the Sub-programme nº1, after proper funding is assured, will require an initial workplan for the implementation stage. During the implementation, the previous identified drivers will be confirmed and the way they will influence the environmental conditions in the basin will be thoroughly studied and the conclusions shared with the relevant stakeholders. The aim of the present project is therefore the preparation, discussion and devising of a Logical Framework and Concept Note and a Work plan, which: sets up the Sub-programme development framework and rationale, identifies key stakeholders to be involved in the management of the shared fisheries resources and develops a workplan and a timeline for the start up and implementation of activities.

The beneficiaries will be all the concerned Fisheries Administrations, authorities/agencies involved in the fisheries planning and management in the region as well as the resources users of the basin as a whole (fishermen, fish traders, local communities, concerned association, etc). The project includes the provision of Technical Assistance (TA) for (a) the proposal of a workplan for the RTP implementation, , and (b) the organization of an identification workshop gathering regional stakeholders and aiming at discussing a proposed work plan for the start up phase of the SADC Sub-programme nº1 for the Zambezi River basin. The TA will be delivered by a team of experts composed of an Inland Fisheries Expert (Team leader) in charge of devising the required work plan and of the workshop facilitation and an Events Coordinator to support the logistics for the organization of the workshop.

1 Background

The Zambezi Basin covers eight countries: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe with an area of 1.39 million km2. It is home to about 40 million people and comprises some of Southern Africa’s most important inland fishery resources, providing food, income and livelihoods to many people of the region. The entire fishery system – from production to trade – is vulnerable to a range of changes derived from both man‐induced and natural sources: these changes threaten the benefits provided by the fishery resources. In response to this, the eight riparian countries are increasing their individual and joint efforts to safeguard the future of fisheries. This project forms part of this effort by assisting the SADC to identify key stakeholders and define priorities and main actions for the start up of a Regional Technical Programme (RTP) to – strengthen co‐management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin, through the development of a workplan for implementing objective one ‐ to improve the knowledge and information base for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin. The RTP is designed for six years and is structured around four objectives in total, the first is the focus of this project while the other three will cover; effective tools and approaches for addressing key management challenges; enhancing the market and value chains of the Zambezi fisheries through business‐based innovations; and strengthening human, institutional and technical capacity. The output of this project will be an agreed work plan that will include: identification of objectives, priorities, key actions and timings and identify a group of stakeholders to be involved in the RTP management. The contract for this work that is funded by the ACP Fish II project of the European Union (EU) has been awarded to NFDS Africa. The NFDS team consists of Sandy Davies, Team leader and Inland Fisheries Expert and Ulrika Egner, Event Coordinator, with backstopping support from Sinead Sheridan and Mercy Mangena. The contract was signed on the 23rd May and will run for 5 months until 24th October 2012.

2 Comments on terms of reference

The only comment is related to the scope of the work that is defined through the expected output from NFDS Africa which is to prepare a work plan for the start up phase for objective number one (i.e. to improve the knowledge and information base for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin) of the SADC programme. While the overall purpose of the contract is to assist SADC to identify key stakeholders and define priorities and main actions for the start up phase of the programme “Strengthening co‐management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin”. We note that the focus of this work is on the knowledge and information base for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources, while objective three of the RTP focuses on the value chain. With the time allocated to mapping stakeholders and initiatives and then finding best practice we will focus on the co‐management but aim to also identify value chain stakeholders important to the overall management process.



3 Approach to the assignment

The work began with a meeting between the NFDS Africa Team Leader (Sandy Davies) and Research Assistant (Sinead Sheridan) and the SADC Secretariat (Mr Nyambe Nyambe, Senior Natural Resources Adviser) in Gaborone, Botswana on the 28th May 2012. Details of the project were discussed and dates for the workshop were agreed: for the 27‐30 August 2012 in Kasane, Gaborone. The NFDS Africa team was also able to meet with Ms Margaret Nyirenda, Director of FANR at the SADC Secretariat to discuss the project. The NFDS team, including Ms Ulrika Egner (Events Coordinator), had a kick‐off email exchange between Mr Leone Tarabusi of the ACP Fish II Programme's Regional Facilitation Unit (RFU) in Maputo and Mr Nyambe of the SADC Secretariat with input from Ms Flavia Reale in the ACP Fish II Programme in Brussels.

3.1 Approach to workshop

The NFDS team, started to plan the workshop logistics and begin to make initial contact with stakeholders. The draft budget was prepared and discussed with ACP Fish II RFU and the SADC Secretariat and agreement made on the number of participants per country and other such detail (see draft budget in Section 7.2). A pre‐registration form has been prepared for the workshop (Section 9.3) as well as the draft programme (Section 9.1). The title of the workshop in full is rather long:

The SADC workshop to elaborate a workplan for the start‐up phase of the SADC regional technical programme to strengthen co‐management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin, component one — improving the knowledge and information base for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin.

For short we propose using:

The SADC workshop to prepare a workplan for improving the knowledge and information base for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin.

Our plan is set out in Section 4 and as soon as people respond to invitations flight bookings will be made.

3.2 Approach to technical work

The technical approach of the team prior to the workshop is to prepare a briefing report for input to the workshop. This has been designed so that it will (see draft table of contents in 9.4):

Guide participants through the workshop and allow a structure to the workshop, the proposed provisional programme for the workshop (Section 9.1) is based on both validating and providing additional input and elaboration into this report.

Once validated and added to, during the workshop the chapters of the briefing paper will form the basis for the workplan for implementing component one of the RTP, with the addition of the costed workplan and the associated logframe added during/after the workshop.



The focus of the briefing report and the work that NFDS will undertake is to:

1. Explain the background and rationale for the RTP and this project and to define the scope for the workplan (Chapter 1);

2. Summarise the information base and state of the knowledge of the fisheries in the basin, from

a national perspective, but with a regional comparison, probably in a matrix system. Our intention is to generate country summaries, based on available reports (the RTP reports should help with this) and to send out questionnaires to the country focal points to add to this. Our focus will be on information and knowledge for co‐management of shared resources (Chapter 2);

3. Prepare a framework and stakeholder mapping of who does what, with whom and through

which mechanisms. This will include a brief overview of the international and national policy and strategy framework and associated processes related to information and knowledge for co‐management, we will do this through review of reports, internet, questionnaires and meetings (Chapter 3);

4. Detail the main issues and challenges in relation to information and knowledge to improve co‐

management and then to identify some best‐practice examples as a means to inspire some discussions and options for interventions. This section may end with an analysis on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), but this will also be a major part of the workshop (Chapter 4); and

5. Finally a brief section will explain the next steps, which during and after the workshop will focus on preparing a workplan for priority activities (Chapter 5).

3.3 Administrative approach

The Draft Final Technical Report (DFTR) will be circulated for comments from the ACP Fish II RFUs and the SADC Secretariat on the 6 September with the draft workplan attached. Taking into account these comments, the Final Technical Report (FTR) will be prepared and circulated by the 30 September. When the final version of the report (FR) has been agreed, the project will arrange for the report to be translated to Portuguese and submitted on the 14 October.

6 Key issues to be addressed The main issue in respect to the workshop is that the invitations are sent our promptly, so that the travel arrangements can be made as soon as possible. August is high‐holiday season in Botswana so arranging some flights may be difficult if it is left late, however we are hopeful that some participants will travel via road. Secondly, as mentioned above, copies of any relevant papers and studies towards the RTP would be very helpful.

SADC Regional Workshop on information and knowledge for the co‐management of the shared Zambezi basin fisheries resources

The SADC Secretariat, with financial support from the European Union’s (EU) ACP Fish II Programme for Africa‐Caribbean‐Pacific (ACP) countries and with technical guidance from NFDS Africa are hosting a four day workshop in Kasane, Botswana starting on the 27

th August. The objective of the workshop is to strengthen information and knowledge sharing across the basin by identifying key best practices already in place to ensure effective sharing and use of knowledge, as well as identifying problems and challenges that need to be overcome to improve information and knowledge sharing. These outcomes will feed into the improvement of overall management of the Zambezi Basin fisheries. The ACP Fish II Programme, supporting this initiative, is a 30 million Euro Programme funded by the 9

th European Development Fund which aims to strengthen the capacity of fisheries management in ACP Countries. This project is funded by the European Union. A SADC Regional Technical Programme (RTP) to – Strengthen co‐management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin – was approved by SADC Ministers responsible for Natural Resources and Environment in 2010, at their meeting held in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. The RTP has been designed for a period of six years and is structured around four objectives. The first, forms the focus of this workshop, on the improvement of the information base and knowledge for adaptive co‐management of the shared‐fishery resources of the Zambezi Basin. The other objectives cover; effective tools and approaches for addressing key management challenges; enhancing the market and value chains of the Zambezi fisheries through business‐based innovations; and strengthening human, institutional and technical capacity. The Zambezi Basin covers eight countries: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe with an area of 1.39 million km

2. It is home to about 40 million people and comprises some of Southern Africa’s

most important inland fishery resources, providing food, income and livelihoods to many people of the region. The workshop will provide a platform to engage various stakeholders including traditional authorities and partners and it is hoped that representatives from fisheries departments, local communities, research and academic institutions and NGOs will attend in addition to representatives of regional programmes and initiatives and cooperating partners. The output from the workshop will be recommendations for the work plan that will include: identification of objectives, priorities, key actions and timings and identify a group of stakeholders to be involved in the RTP implementation and management. The workshop will take place on the 27‐30 August 2012 in Kasane and the Cresta Mowana Safari Lodge. For further information please contact Sinead Sheridan‐ [email protected], Tel: +2673926298.

SADC REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON THE CO-MANAGEMENT OF THE SHARED ZAMBEZI FISHERIES RESOURCES

— Improving the knowledge and information base —

Kasane, Botswana: 27 – 30 August 2012

1 Background and rationale The Zambezi Basin covers eight countries: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe with an area of 1.39 million km2. It is home to about 40 million people and comprises some of Southern Africa’s most important inland fishery resources, providing food, income and livelihoods to many people of the region. The entire fishery system – from production to trade – is vulnerable to a range of changes derived from both man-induced and natural sources: these changes threaten the benefits provided by the fishery resources. In response to this, the eight riparian countries are increasing their individual and joint efforts to safeguard the future of fisheries.

As a part of this effort a SADC Regional Technical Programme (RTP) to – Strengthen co-management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin – was approved by SADC Ministers responsible for Natural Resources and Environment in 2010, at their meeting held in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. The programme has been designed for a period of six years and is structured around four objectives, the first, forms the focus of this workshop, on the improvement of the information base and knowledge for adaptive co-management of the shared-fishery resources of the Zambezi Basin. The other objectives cover; effective tools and approaches for addressing key management challenges; enhancing the market and value chains of the Zambezi fisheries through business-based innovations; and strengthening human, institutional and technical capacity.

The workshop is kindly sponsored by the European Union through their ACP Fish II Programme in order to support the start up of the SADC RTP. Starting the RTP, after proper funding is assured, will require an initial workplan for the implementation stage that; identifies key stakeholders to be involved in the management of the shared fisheries resources; that identifies and proposes solutions for the management problems; that defines objectives and priorities to be addressed; and that takes into account the main challenges and external constraints; while proposing a methodology for implementation.

Prospectus for the SADC Zambezi fisheries workshop Page 2

2 Purpose of the workshop The purpose of the workshop is to consult widely in order to elaborate the initial workplan for the start up phase for objective number one, to improve the knowledge and information base for adaptive co-management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin of the SADC Regional Technical Programme.

3 Participants The workshop will provide a platform to engage various stakeholders including traditional authorities and partners from the riparian States in the SADC Programme. It is hoped that representatives from fisheries departments, local communities, research and academic institutions and NGOs will attend in addition to representatives of regional programmes and initiatives and cooperating partners.

4 Expected outcomes The output from the workshop will be recommendations for the work plan that will include: identification of objectives, priorities, key actions and timings and identify a group of stakeholders to be involved in the RTP implementation and management.

5 Workshop process The workshop process will follow five areas for sharing information and engaging in discussion:

1. Sharing and validating background information and rationale for the RTP and this project and to define the scope for the workplan;

2. Summarising and validating the information base and state of the knowledge of the fisheries in the basin, from a national perspective with a comparison across the region with a focus on information and knowledge for co-management of shared resources;

3. Consolidate and validate a framework and stakeholder mapping of who does what, with whom and through which mechanisms. This will include an overview of the international and national policy and strategy framework and associated processes related to information and knowledge for co-management;

4. Identify and consolidate the main issues and challenges in relation to information and knowledge to improve co-management and identify best-practice examples that may be replicated or scaled up or out in this work plan. This Session will include an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT); and

5. Agree on recommendations and next steps, to inform the finalisation of the workplan for priority activities.

6 Logistics and organisation The workshop venue is the Cresta Mowana - Safari Lodge in Kasane, Botswana. For funded participants reservations will be made at this hotel for accommodation.

• Popular community participation –governance issues

• Limiting certain fishing technologies/methods

Composition of BVCs

• Gear owners

• Crew members

• Processors

• Fish traders

• Any active member of the village group

• Traditional leaders

• Other co‐management partners: NGOs e.g. CURE, Total Land Care, COMPASS, WESM

Roles of Beach Village Committees

• Regulate admission of additional gear owners

• Patrolling their fishing areas

• Organize group members to discuss problems of the fishery

• Represent interests of its members at higher levels e.g. associations

• Data collection –including MOMS

• Lobby for policy reviews

Existing institutional and legal frameworks supporting co‐management

• Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy: under review

• The Fisheries Conservation and Aquaculture Act of 1997

• The Fisheries Conservation and Aquaculture Act of 1997 Rules of 2000

• Decentralisation Policy

• Local Government Act

• Environmental Management Act

• Environmental Policy21

Other key tools – international level

• FAO

• SADC Protocol on Fisheries

• RAMSAR Convention

On‐going co‐management initiatives

• CBNRM Project coordinated by CURE

– MOMS on selected sites

• Total Land Care

Co‐management on Chia Lagoon

• Lake Malawi Basin Project

– Supporting BVCs in business management

• Lake Chilwa Basin Climate Change Project

– Data collection by fishers or BVcs

Key successes

• BVCs are in place in all fishing areas

• Power for community to set management objectives and formulate bylaws

• Reduced transaction costs e.g. for patrols

• Promotes broader participation e.g. DoF, traditional leaders, fishers, Police, magistrates

• Community outlines policy areas for management of the fisheries e.g. fish quality issues on Lake Chilwa

2012/09/20

5

Key challenges• Power struggle among actors

• Unclear roles of actors – BVCs, DoF, councils, traditional leaders and NGOs

• Poor fish handling and marketing

• Legal tools need finalisation e.g, plans, agreements, management fees, Fisheries Fund

• Climate change – flood plain areas

• Policy conflicts

• Gender issues

• Transboundary issues

Conclusion

• In some areas primary actors are not actively involved in the co‐management activities

• Governance issues are necessary for improved accountability, transparency and participation

• For effective decentralised fisheries management: – enhance capacity of district assemblies in form of skills, adequate staff and equipment for effective delivery of services to the co‐management institutions.

• Final steps on the PFM – Registration of user committees– Management plans – Fisheries Fund– BVC boundaries – Appointment of honorary fisheries protection officers and

– Signing management agreements with enforceable by‐laws and management plans

• Co‐management needs sdsptation

• Valuation of the fishery necessary

• With poor planning and implementation, co‐management may not be a strategy for poverty reduction among the vulnerable and marginalized segments of the society but for the rich (Béné & Neiland, 2004).

• Empowerment of the poor in decision‐making processes and access to resources at sustainable level is a recommended policy action for poverty reduction.

Thank you

STRATEGIC AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The Action Plan for the Reduction of Poverty 2011-15 (PARP) of May 2011, stresses theimportance of markets for rural development and the need to increase productivity inagriculture and fisheries.

The Fisheries Master Plan 2010-2019, launched in December 2010, proposes that:

(i) The domestic supply of fisheries produce is increased to meet the country’s fooddeficit;

(ii) The living conditions of fishing communities are improved;

(iii) There is an increased contribution of aquaculture for the economic and socialdevelopment of communities;

iv) the net foreign exchange revenue generated by the sector is increased.

SADC WORKSHOP – IMPROVING INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE BASE FOR ADAPTIVE CO-

MANAGEMENT OF SHARED FISHERIES RESOURCES OF THE ZAMBEZI BASIBN

Ministry of Fisheries and

Marine Resources Republic of Namibia

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources is responsible for the Management , protection and conservation of Inland Fisheries Resources in Namibia

The White Paper “Responsible Management of the Inland Fisheries of Namibia” 1995, formed the basis of the new laws and regulations concerning fisheries resources management in different water systems around the country.

In 2002 / 2003 government enacted the Aquaculture Act, and Inland Fisheries Act and regulations to protect and conserve the fisheries resources for sustainable utilisation.

Before these pieces of legislations, they were no laws addressing issues of this subsector, apart from small clause in the Nature Conservation Ordinance of 1975, which did not address all necessary issues pertaining to Inland Fisheries.

There are two directorates responsible of Inland Fisheries in the region, i.eDirectorate of Operation for MCS, and Directorate of Aquaculture and Inland Fisheries deals with Fish Farming, Extension and Research

Caprivi Region is surrounded by perennial rivers namely Zambezi, Chobe, Linyanti and Kwando river, and makes part of the basin.

The system makes different habitats and these supports very different fish assemblages,

main river channels,Floodplain lakes andlagoons,rapids,

swamps andpans.

RIVER SYSTEMS AND FLOOD PLAINSInland fisheries in the Caprivi started at a pace of subsistence, but currently the trend seems to be heading for commercialisation of the subsector.

It is a labour intensive and catches are consumed by some families / communities, sold by fishermen and fish vendors to locals and foreigners from neighbouring countries.

Mostly, fish sales takes place at landing sites and at the open market in Katima Mulilo

FISHERIES ACTIVITIES

In order to ensure a sustainable management of fisheries and to enable social and economic objectives to be archived, sufficient knowledge of social, economic and institutional factors should be developed, therefore there are on-going research and survey programs in the Ministry

Annual biological fisheries surveys with samples collected at Kalimbeza, Impalila, Ihaha and Nakatwa (Kwando river)

On going Survey of fish and vendors entering the market

Survey of fish market stalls and interview of individual fish vendors

Frame surveys jointly with neighbouring country

On going monitoring of fish disease , especially EUS

(DATA AND REPORTS AVAILABLE)

LINE OF OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT ACTION

Fishing Closing Season has not been implemented in the region, due to other reasons such as socio economic impact of the community which heavily depend their livelihood on these resources through out the year, However, more debate has been going on.

Control of fishing methods though the issuing of fishing license which is currently managed to the Regional Council

Formation of Fisheries Management Committees

Identification and monitoring of landing sites,

Identification and formation of fisheries protected areas

Further more, the ministry has put in place mechanism such as deployment of fisheries inspectors in the field by conducting land patrols by vehicles, and boat patrols in rivers and lakes. Additional satellite offices will introduced at Kongola, Miyako and Schumansberg to expand on coverage

Mara, Mwanza and Kagera, Tanzania; North Buganda, South Buganda and Busoga, Uganda; and Nyanza and Western, Kenya.

0:21N-3:00S, 31:39-34:53E; 1,134 m above sea level.

B. DESCRIPTION

Lake Victoria, the largest of all African Lakes, is also the second widest freshwater body in the world. Its extensive surface belongs to the three countries; the northern half to Uganda 43%, the southern half to Tanzania 51%, and part of the northeastern sector to Kenya 6%. The lake occupies a wide depression near the equator, between the East and West Great Rift Valleys, but its drainage basin is relatively small, being slightly less than three times the lake's surface in area. The lake water is drained at a rate of about 600 m3 sec-1, at Jinja on the northern shore, into the Victoria Nile which flows northward via Lake Albert and the White Nile forming the uppermost reaches of the Nile River.

The lake shore is highly indented, and there are many isles in the lake, some of which, especially the Sesse Group, are known for their beautiful landscape, health resorts and sightseeing places. Abundant prehistoric remains found around the lake indicate the early development of agriculture. There are a number of coastal towns such as Kisumu (Kenya), Entebe (Uganda), Bukoba, Mwanza and Musoma (Tanzania), connected with each other by ship routes and also to the cities of the Indian Ocean coast by railways. The dam constructed in 1954 at Owen Falls on the Victoria Nile supplies electricity and water for various uses in Uganda and Kenya and Tanzania.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The lake’s origins are still the subject of scientific dispute, but it seems likely that it is much more recent than the other great lakes of eastern Africa. Many of the rivers now flowing east into Victoria (including Kagera) once flowed west, at least in the Miocene, Pliocene, and part of the Pleistocene eras (within the past 2 million years), possibly eventually Kagera river into the Nile system, Mara River and more recent upthrust of the western side of the basin is thought to have reversed these rivers, and caused Lake Victoria to form by flowing eastwards. It is possible that the

4

lake could have formed as recently as 25,000 to 35,000 years ago, and recent evidence suggests it may have dried up completely between 10,000 and 14,000 years ago.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION The recent history of Lake Victoria is one of dramatic change in limnological parameters and native fishery stocks from late 1960s to the present. Over fishing, exotic species introductions, deleterious land use practices, and pollution from various sources all contributed to the oxygen depletion and mass extinction of indigenous fishes now taking place. The question is an urgent one for scientists, policymakers, and development organizations worldwide. The current export boom from the lake’s shallow (less than 80 meters at its deepest), murky, and oxygen-depleted waters has come at enormous ecological and social cost. The price includes a massive loss of native species, partially caused by the introduced Nile perch, and the increasing conversion of the fishery to an export commodity rather than local protein source. Hence, Lake Victoria is in danger of becoming the world's largest pool of dead water. Already half its native fish are extinct, and the 30 million people who eke out a living from its troubled waters are facing calamity. TANZANIA FISHERIES RESOURCE BASE. Tanzania is well endowed with water bodies with a variety of fish species of high economical value. These water bodies include Lakes Victoria,Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa . and diverse River Systems, numerous wetlands and an ocean coastline. The country is reasonably rich in marine and inland Fisheries resource. The National policies for conservation, management and development of fisheries resources focuses on the promotion of sustainable exploitation, utilization and marketing of fish resources to provide food, income employment and foreign exchange earnings and effective protection of the

5

aquatic environment to sustain development. Some of the areas to be emphasized Include;

Fisheries Resource Management Integration of environmental protection and development, Efficient resource utilization and marketing, Improving training and Education, Community participation, Fisheries Information Management and Dissemination, Gender development’ Cross sectoral collaboration, Integrated Coastal area Management and Regional and Internantional co-operation

Fisheries Co-Management in Tanzania. Despite having big potential in the fisheries resources ,there has been very high fishing pressure leading to overfishing because of the increasing demand of fish in relation to high population growth. Depletion of important fish species and environmental degradation of Lake Victoria caused the Government of The United Republic of Tanzania to establish fisheries Collaborative Management System whereby the Government and the fisheries resource users share management responsibilities. Fiheries Co management in Tanzania started in 1998 by formulation of Fisheries Co management Units known as Beach Management Units(BMUs) in each villages along Lake Victoria shores and the marine coastal line. The Fisheries Act No; 22 of 2003 and Fisheries Regulations 2009 (GN 308) of Tanzania provide for establishment and Management of BMUs. Beach Management Units are established in accordance with Beach

Management Guidelines made by the Director of Fisheries. The jurisdiction area on land of every Beach Management Unit shall

be sa agreed upon by fishers community ,community based organization, Village councils, Local Government Authorities and central Government.

Beach Management Unit may include more tan one fish landing station.

Any Person engaging in fishery activities including fishers fish processors, traders, gear repairers, and suppliers and boat builders

6

within the Beach Management Units area who meet the following qualifications shall be registered as member of BMU. a) resident of the village or villages in which the Beach

Management Unit is Established. b) An ardent conservator of the fishery resources. c) Of any sex and age above 18 years; d) Honest, trustful, cooperative, self motivated and ready to

work in a group, e) Ready to work in voluntary basis, f) A leader shall know how to read and write in Kiswahili The tenure of the office bearers is three years but may

renewable once. Immigrant fishers are not allowed to be members of BMU. Non citizen are not allowed. Every Beach management unit meets quarterly, Every BMU is supposed to open a bank account and

establish a financial management system to support its operation.

Acquire assets to be used solely for its operation. A BMU may associate with other BMUs and co management structures to form higher level BMUs for the purpose of fisheries planning, management and development. A BMU undertakes self monitoring of its performance each year using a monitoring format provided in the national BMU guidelines. BEACH MANAGEMENT ASSEMBLY Approves BMU constitution and membership fee Elect a BMU committee in accordance with the guidelines. Elects :-

1.A chair person and a vice chair person. 2.A secretary 3.A treasurer and 4. any other office bearer of the committee and sub committees.

7

May issue financial incentives to its members from its own resources

May approve BMU operating procedures. Assembles quarterly following calendar year, and minutes of the

meeting are recorded for public scrutiny, May remove from office any member of the committee and sub

committee by majority votes in that respect on the grounds of contravention of the Act, guidelines and operating procedures.

Approve annual and quarterly budgets of BMUs Conduct meetings to consider quarterly and annual performance

reports. Every fisher fork shall abide by the bylaw and conditions set by the BMU in their respective areas. FUNCTIONS OF THE BEACH MANAGEMENT UNITS: Develop a BMU constitution ,fisheries management plan and fish

landing station development plan in accordance with higher level fisheries management plans

Develop annual and quarterly work plans and budgets to implement the management and development plans.

Collaborate in fisheries catch assessment surveys and frame surveys.

In collaboration with Village Council , develops bylaws and engages in monitoring control and surveillance in such a way as to reduce the incidences of illegal fishing and fish trading practices and environmental degradation within the BMU areas.

Ensure sanitary and hygienic conditions at the fish landing stations within the BMU area in accordance with standards set by the competent authority.

Ensure good leadership. Participate in selection processes for the issuance of fishing vessels

license and fishing within the BMU jurisdiction area to ensure equitable access to resources.

Ensure fisheries license fees are paid by BMU members in a timely manner to the officer in charge of fisheries in the Local Government Authority.

8

Arbitrate to settle fisheries disputes amongst BMU members and other Institutions.

Filling a standard tally book indicating fish weight ,value and price of fish and submit the data to an authorized officer in their locality by the second day of the following month.

To keep an up dated register and submit quqrterly reports on fisheries management and development activities the officer incharge of fisheries in the local Government authority. Every officer in charge of fisheries in the Local Government authority is required to submit quarterly reports delivered by BMU on Fisheries management and development activities to the Director.

The private sector, the community, non-governmental organization and other non-state actors have a big role to play in the development, management and sustainable utilization of the fisheries resources in collaboration with the government. The regional Plan of Action as far as co-management is concerned was formulated for the purpose of managing fisheries resources in a transparent, trustworthy, good governance, equity sharing of the resources, peaceful settlement of disputes, good neighborliness accountability and gender consideration in sustainable fisheries resource management .Co Management creates sense of ownership to all those with a stake to hold. Over all objectives Co management can be defined as collaboration between the Government and various stakeholders. The Beach Management Units (BMU) among stakeholders have the overall objective of sustaining the fisheries resources base for optimal economic growth, poverty reduction, food security, foreign exchange earnings, employment and gender equity and improved standards of living among fisheries dependant communities.

9

The need to have an efficient, equitable and transparent system for co-management for long term sustainability of the fisheries resources is inevitable, Therefore, specific objectives has to be in place to ensure presence of clear policy and legal framework for fisheries resource protection and conservation fisheries resource environment:

Information on the status of fisheries resources Competitive advantages on the fisheries resources, Explore economic incentives and develop alternative livelihoods

options correlated to control fishing capacity. Dissemination of information to all stakeholders at all level in

vicinity the lake areas. Promote stakeholder participation in management layout. Improve human resource capacity for effective capacity

management of the aquatic resources. Encourage mechanisms that address environmental issues

impacting fisheries. Improve the socio-economic welfare of the fisheries dependent

communities through co-management. Strategic Intervention:

Strengthen co-management institutions at all levels, Develop sensitization and training programs, Take immediate actions for specific fisheries requiring urgent

remedial measures based on the control of Fisheries resource. Fulfill international obligations especially in relation to code of

conduct for responsible fisheries on the co-management Sensitize the political leadership on co-management as far as

fisheries resource concerned, Identify issue affecting fisheries and work with leagal agencies and

institutions to address them and get the alternative solutions, Identify and promote mechanisms that address socio-economic

welfare of the fish folk and Develop and implement mechanisms for sustainable financing of

fisheries activities. Specific Actions: Policy and Legal Framework

10

Policy and legal framework must be developed and be harmonized

on management of fisheries resource. Giving better consideration to small scale fisheries Examine and streamline policy and registration relating to licensing

in relation to targeted species, type of fishing gear, type and size of fishing craft vessels, seaworthiness and any other component relating to Fisheries management of resources.

Develop and implement a mechanism to ensure equitable distribution of benefits accruing from fisheries.

Encouraging and support the actions on the national law enforcement agencies to combat the piracy and give the security of fishers on the lake and

Promote mechanisms that address poverty alleviation among fishing communities.

Improving the information and knowledge base for adaptive co‐management of shared

fisheries resources in the Zambezi basinFirst Session – Opening

Improving the information and knowledge base for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries

resources in the Zambezi basin

• Opening/Welcome• Statements by partners• Introductions by participants• Adoption of the agenda• Overview introduction to the workshop and the project• Challenges facing Zambezi fisheries• House keeping

Adoption of Agenda

• Proposed change in Session one –addition of a talk Challenges facing Zambezi fisheries ‐ Denis Tweddle

• Any other changes?

Overview and introduction to the programme, the project and the

workshop

The programme

• Because the eight countries of the Zambezi Basin: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia andZimbabwe have been cooperating to develop a SADC Regional Technical Programme (RTP) to strengthen co‐management and value chains of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin.

• The Programme was approved at the SADC Ministerial Meeting on Natural Resources and Environment held on 16 July 2010 in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

The project and workshop

• The ACP Fish II programme of the European Union (EU) is funding a project to develop a work plan for implementing objective one of the RTP ‐ to improve the information and knowledge base for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin.

• Workshop to review changes and to design the work plan in order to do this we are designing a project under the RTP.

• You are here as you have knowledge that is required to develop this workplan.

2012/09/20

The Regional Technical Programme

• Based on the need for collaborative management that strengthens cooperation between countries and amongst relevant stakeholder groups.

• Goal – to enhance regional food security and rural economic growth through sustainable, productive and resilient fisheries in the Zambezi basin


• The purpose (2) –to develop and disseminate innovative tools and approaches for the management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin and to strengthen the capacity of stakeholders in riparian countries for utilizing these effectively.

• Or – to develop confidence to act by following a certain path, by delivering a framework and extensive network of key stakeholders .

• Will need to identify which one

• Strongly linked to support the SADC Protocol on Fisheries and the implementation plan


• Four components:– To improve the knowledge and informationbase for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin

– To identify and implement effective tools and approaches for addressing key management challenges for these resources

– To enhance the market and value chains of the Zambezi fisheries through business‐based innovations

– To strengthen human, institutional and technical capacity among key stakeholder groups for adaptive co‐management of shared fisheries resources and their market and value chains


• Budget of USD 28 million

• 6 years

• Approach ‐ (components)

– Basin wide = assessments, synthesis and dissemination

– Site‐specific = pilot sites to diagnostic sites (platforms for testing and implementing)

– Capacity building = to apply best practice

•1 Upper Zambezi –(4) seasonal floodplain and river fishery•2a Lake Kariba – (2) and 2b CahoraBassa – (1) reservoir fisheries

Pilot Sites

•3 South East Arm Lake Malawi/Niassa and Lake Malombe – (2) lake fishery•4 Lower Zambezi/Shire and Delta – (2) river fisheries, seasonal/ regulated, floodplains and delta

The PROJECT • In the Project Proposal for the overall RTP

this is called Objective 1 or Component 1

• It is the part on information and knowledge

• It has three/four main OUTPUTS (also called activities) that are:

– identification – of stakeholders and definition of systems

– assessment – of status of the fisheries

– assessment – of the drivers of change and their likely impacts

– prioritization – of key management and market challenges

The PROJECT

• Proposed for 2 years• Proposed budget 763,500 USD for pilot sites (relatively small part of 28 m – need more detail on this) but also an aspect of the overall coordination /workshops etc

• The RTP Project Proposal provides the basis of a LFA to OUTPUT level (page 13 BP) this includes:– Four outputs– Indicators– MoV– Risks / assumptions

The PROJECT • The Proposal also gives us an indication of the types

of results the project could deliver including (pg 11 BP):– Publication of guidelines for diagnosis

methodologies– A comprehensive diagnosis of shared fisheries

systems in the Zambezi basin.– Prioritization and agreement on critical management

and market challenges.– Identification and support of information points – A basin‐wide status report on the Zambezi fisheries

published – Information briefs that summarize the current

ecological, socio‐economic and institutional status of shared fisheries systems

– Viable scenarios for Programme sites and at basin‐level developed and widely disseminated.

– Capacity development of key stakeholder groups

So what is our job?

• Our job is to clarify and develop these ideas, to update or validate where necessary and to complete the process so that we have a full project log frame with activities and inputs and timelines for the information and knowledge project/component.

• With this we can produce a WORK PLAN for the project

• We have a lot of work to do …… we have organized our time as follows…..

To sustainably manage the shared Zambezi/Chobe River fisheries resources by promoting transboundary coordination and

collaboration on the introduction of fully integrated fishery management systems

PROJECT GOAL

PROJECT PURPOSEBy end 2012, a fully integrated management

system for livelihood and sport fisheries, that provides optimal benefits to all stakeholders

reliant on this valuable resource, is in place in targeted pilot communities

OUTPUT 1. Cross-border collaboration in management of the fisheries resources.

OUTPUT 2. Management plan (in collaboration with neighbouring countries) successfully implemented for the benefit of the communities.

OUTPUT 3. Fish reserves established and fully functional in targeted pilot communities.

OUTPUT 4. Tourist angling lodges operating in agreement with local fishing/conservancy committees.

OUTPUT 5. Capacity building in research and monitoring of fish resource.

PROJECT OUTPUTS

WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FISHERY?

WHY DID WE NEED A PROJECT TO MANAGE THE

FISHERY?

2

All stakeholders agreed that Zambezi River fishery declined

Research proved large bream species over-fished

Local communities, tourist lodges complaining

Fishermen working harder to catch same amount of fish

This means fewer large fish in the river than in past

WHY IS THIS?

PROBLEMS1. Increase in population and therefore number of people going

fishing

2. Increased commercialisation of fishery due to (1) improved road communications to area, (2) people from outside investing in modern fishing gears and paying people to fish for them

3. Introduction of modern, more efficient fishing gears

4. Catching immature fish

5. Fishing longer and more destructively to catch same amount of fish as before, therefore exacerbating situation

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT?

WHY IS THIS?

Give fishing communities authority to manage own resources

Empower conservancies / village fishing committees to formulate own rules, with guidance from project and MFMR

Encourage non-fishing reserves to act as breeding / nursery areas to seed surrounding fishing areas

Keep government fishery regulations short and simple, concentrating only on prohibiting most damaging gears

AGREE ALL OTHER REGULATIONS AT LOCAL LEVELTHROUGH PARTICIPATION WITH, AND AGREEMENT WITH, INDIVIDUAL CONSERVANCIES/VILLAGE COMMITTEES

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT? PREVIOUS SLIDE, LAST POINT…..

AGREE ALL OTHER REGULATIONS AT LOCAL LEVEL THROUGH PARTICIPATION WITH, AND AGREEMENT WITH, INDIVIDUAL CONSERVANCIES/VILLAGE COMMITTEES

WHY?

Because floodplain fisheries have very different characteristics in different areas

Main river channels: fishery dominated by large cichlids and tigerfish

Lagoons: large cichlids but also numerous smaller species

Shallow streams and pans during flood events only: numerous very small, highly productive and short-lived species

MAIN ZAMBEZI RIVER, SIDE CHANNELS AND LARGE LAGOONS:

Strong regulations to protect valuable large fish species,

-- for financial benefit of fishing communities

-- to support tourism resource, provides employment and income to rural communities in areas where few other employment opportunities exist

ISOLATED LAKES AND LAGOONS:

Allow wide variety of fishing gears to exploit all types of fish

TEMPORARY FLOODPLAIN STREAMS AND PANS:

Allow exploitation of small species using methods that would be unacceptable elsewhere, e.g. mosquito nets

3

Small, but adult, pioneering floodplain species are a valuable, short-lived human food resource

Stop import and use of monofilament gillnets, as they are more effective and increase pressure on already overfished species

Possession of illegal gear to be made a criminal offence even if not being fished (traders supplying such gears as guilty as fishermen using them)

Following illegal methods must remain banned under any circumstances:Seine nets (dragnets) (possible exception in drying lagoons,

only with special agreement with community)Drifting gillnetsDriving fish into gillnets by beating water or bankside vegetationPoisons and explosives

DESTRUCTIVE GEARS –TOTAL BAN NEEDED

Drag netting

Bashing

Recreational fishery not generally understood by GovernmentValue of lodges to local communities (particularly employment)Target species: tigerfish (stocks generally healthy); large cichlids

(stocks over-exploited, in urgent need of management)Catch-and-release policy, therefore lodges do not affect fishermen’s

livelihoodsPotential for conservancies to manage reserves - catch and release

angling allowed on payment of rod fees to conservanciesHelps to resolve conflict between lodge owners and commercial/

subsistence fishermen over resource utilisation
