Descripción
The IFIP project started in January 1989 with the main objective of promoting a more effective and rational exploitation of the fisheries resources of major water bodies of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. The project is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for a duration of four years. There are eleven countries and three Intergovernmental organizations participating in the project: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communaute'Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), The Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African States (PTA) and the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC). The immediate objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen regional collaboration for the rational development and management. of inland fisheries, particularly with respect to shared water bodies; (ii) to provide advisory services and assist Governments in sectoral and project. planning; (iii) to strengthen technical capabilities through training; and (iv) to establish a regional information base. The abstracts contained in the present document are intended to be o- use to fishery researchers and administrators who wish to keep abreast of basic references and current literature that have been published over the last five years on the subject of fisherie_s economics. Emphasis was put on relatively theoretical documents and relevant case studies. The document was prepared by Mr. C.E. Bean under a special service agreement with the IFIP project and further expanded by project staff, Mr. Bean is currently with the Department of Resource Economics at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island, USA.
