Aquatic Foods play a fundamental role in Africa’s food systems, supplying 18% of all animal proteins, well above the 15% world average. The intrinsic link between fisheries and aquaculture and Africa’s core continental development objectives was recognised by Member States as early as 2005 during the NEPAD “Fish for All Summit”. The adoption of the 2014 Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture (PFRS), and its alignment with the CAADP Kampala Declaration, has provided a blueprint for sustainable reforms of the sector.
