Resumen
Descripción
The FAO Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service, through the Fisheries Department Group of the FAO Regional Office for Africa, in collaboration with the WorldFish Centre, has assembled in the present document more than three decades of field-level experiences which have been distilled and reviewed to elaborate guidelines for the future development of the aquaculture sub-sector in Africa. This document is not intended to be a work of scientific research, but rather the net ou tcome of lengthy processes analysing what has and has not worked as many development partners have devoted millions of dollars and personhours to the promotions aquaculture in Africa. This document is targeted to general aquaculture developmentalists and would-be investors. It attempts to put the sub-sector in a historical perspective to avoid falling into earlier pitfalls which may be unseen due to recurring bouts of loss of institutional memory. Using this historical angle, it revi ews successes and failures and extrapolates to a list of lessons learnt. These messages are then used as the foundation of a process for elaborating national aquaculture strategic frameworks.
