This is the final report of the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme Workshop on “Developing Aquaculture as a Business within an Ecosystem Approach to the Sector” (Lusaka, Zambia, 20–24 January 2014. The objective was to enhance the capacity of decision makers and personnel in the public sector in understanding and promoting aquaculture as a business within an ecosystem approach to aquaculture in order to facilitate the transformation of aquaculture in Africa from a public-funding driven, subsistence-orient ed and non-viable sector to an economically vibrant, private-sector led and sustainable enterprise. The participants to the workshop included fisheries/aquaculture officers, extension personnel, and staff from civil society organizations. Recommendations were made with reference to the assistance required to facilitate the implementation of the EAA at the country level and to further improve the “User-Friendly Tool for Investment Decision Making in Aquaculture” developed for this purpose by FIRA of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department.
