This document provides an update on fish value chain development efforts in Uganda. It discusses the rationale for focusing on Uganda, including its high fish consumption and potential for aquaculture production growth. Work to date includes preliminary value chain analyses of tilapia and Clarias to identify constraints and opportunities. Ongoing projects focus on genetics and aquaculture development. Planned activities in 2012 include building a value chain analysis team, conducting baseline studies, completing value chain assessments, and identifying market-based interventions. Key partners are identified and gaps in resources and funding needs are noted.
Update on fish value chain development in Uganda
- 1. Update on fish value chain development in Uganda Malcolm Beveridge (WorldFish Center) CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish Planning meeting Nairobi, 27-29 September 2011
- 2. rationale - need • Africa: the aquaculture sector has the greatest need of support to develop at scale • two countries: focus, focus, focus … • screening criteria need – fish is a high proportion of total animal protein intake – national food and nutrition security assessments indicate current situation as ‘low’ or ‘at risk’ – baseline production indicates potential for effective intervention

- 4. rationale - partnerships • in-line with national/ regional and international development agencies’ policies • NGO development partners have identified aquaculture value chains as fruitful areas for investment
- 5. rationale - opportunities for learning Uganda Egypt
- 6. Uganda – general vision and outcome General Vision • With partners, we will work to understand our chosen aquaculture value chains so that we can identify market-based interventions which, when implemented, can help develop efficient, pro-poor and sustainable value chains. Outcome • Increase supplies of affordable, nutritious food, generating equitable benefits to actors throughout the value chain.
