Resumen
Descripción
ALCOM started its activities in 1986 with funding from Sweden. Since its inception, the Programme, in view of its wide scope, was not intended for financing by one donor only. The SIDA funding was thought of as the catalytic core contribution. In the beginning ALCOM focused on the development of methodologies for the sustainable development of smallholder fish farming. Since then, other donors have contributed to the Programme and ALCOM has widened its scope from an aquaculture development pro gramme to an aquatic resource management programme. Activities funded by Sweden, however, have always focused on small-scale fish farming. Funding by SIDA ended in June 1998, and this report summarises the activities carried out under the Swedish part of ALCOM, analyses the results, and comes with recommendations for the continued development of aquaculture in southern Africa.
