The “Digital Roadmap for Aquaculture Promotion and Development” – or Aquaculture Digital Roadmap – was prepared for the World Bank by a team from AquaBioTech Group and FutureFish during 2024 through a series of in-depth stakeholder consultations within and outside the Bank. The funding for the project was provided by PROBLUE, a multi-donor trust fund managed by the World Bank that supports sustainable and integrated development of marine and coastal resources in healthy oceans, and PROGREEN, the Global Partnership for Sustainable and Resilient Landscapes. The Roadmap highlights the role of aquaculture as a strategic priority for World Bank investment and unlocking its potential towards achieving SDGs and addressing global challenges of poverty reduction, unemployment, sustainable and healthy food systems and the climate and biodiversity crisis. The roadmap provides the justification, vision and strategy for enhancing aquaculture investment in the World Bank Group, around three strategic objectives: (i) Changing mindsets towards aquaculture; (ii) Strengthening collaboration & partnerships; and (iii) Better & more country aquaculture investments. The core of the Aquaculture Digital Roadmap is 10 Action Areas that provide specific actions to support aquaculture promotion and development and progress towards the strategic objectives over the time frame from 2025 to 2030. The presentation provides the background to the Roadmap and strategic direction emerging from the assessments and consultations conducted during the project.
