Descripción
The Indian Ocean Commission through the SmartFish programme, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is implementing a regional fisheries strategy programme aimed at improving sustainable regional supplies of fish and fishery products. The programme has five different result areas, the fifth one being food security, which primarily focuses on the implementation of activities geared towards reducing post-harvest fish losses that occur in small-scal e fisheries. In relation to the reduction of post-harvest fish loss, the approach of SmartFish is to build on what has already been done in the region. More specifically, SmartFish aims to increase the capacity of various key institutions in the region in terms of systematic implementation of fish loss assessment methodologies in small-scale fisheries as a precondition for rational intervention, and indeed to find practical ways to reduce losses. In line with the above SmartFish, in collaboratio n with FAO, organized a regional training workshop on post-harvest fish losses, which was held in Mangochi, Malawi from 11 to 15 June 2012. The workshop brought together 17 participants from Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Swaziland, the United Republic of Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
