A Technical Consultation on Legal Frameworks and Economic Policy Instruments for Sustainable Commercial Aquaculture in Africa South of the Sahara was held at Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania from 4 to 7 December 2001. It was attended by 16 Members of FAO from south of the Sahara and by one observer from an Intergovernmental organization and seven observers from the private sector. The Consultation examined the major constraints to the development of sustainable commercial aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa. It reviewed the status and potential of commercial aquaculture, examined the markets and trade, considered the policy options and the framework of legislation favourable for the development of commercial aquaculture. In addition, the Consultation agreed on a set of Conclusions and recommendations for action at national, regional and international levels which point the way forward. Amongst the recommendations, the Consultation requested FAO to continue its efforts in assisting the sub-Saharan countries in increasing awareness of the potential of aquaculture and upgrading the skills of the members to enable them to take full advantage of the existing potential.
