SARNISSA – Sustainable Aquaculture Research Networks in Sub Saharan Africa

This project, funded by the European Commission (FP7) runs for three years and aims to support sustainable urban, peri-urban and rural aquaculture development through linking professionals in Europe and Sub Saharan Africa and will build on an existing knowledge resource base and exchange platform – The Aquaculture Compendium. SARNISSA is a consortium of 8 project partners mainly from Africa and Europe (Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling (co-ordinator UK), CIRAD (France), World Fish Center (Egypt), CABI (UK), Asian Institute of Technology (Thailand), Bunda College of Agriculture (Malawi), IRAD (Cameroon), and ETC (Netherlands). The project is currently identifying interested individuals and organisations working in the field of urban and rural aquaculture in Africa. A stakeholder database will be compiled allowing for better targeted information exchange and cross-country linkages. Interested stakeholders are invited to send their full contact data to Marielle Dubbeling. For general information on the project please contact: William Leschen at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, Stirling-Scotland. Click here to view the latest press release.

Urban agriculture initiative in Central Africa

A workshop on urban agriculture, participatory governance and social inclusion was held in Bukavu (DR Congo) from 24-28 September. The workshop was organized and supported by DIOBASS (DR Congo), RUAF, Institut de la Vie, DGCD, CECODEL and CGRI (Belgium) and counted with the participation of 7 city teams made up of 3 representatives from national (2 Provincial Ministers of Agriculture) and local government representatives (2 Mayors, a vice-Mayor and a Chef of the City plan) NGOs or Community-Based Organizations and Universities from Bukavu, Butembo, Goma, Kinshasa, Kisangani and Lubumbashi (Congo) and Ngozi (Burundi) as well as with representatives from international organizations (GlobalHort, Tanzania, the African Consortium on Urban Agriculture-Cameroun and IAGU-Dakar). Most workshop participants belong to the regional urban agriculture network established in 2003. Workshop participants underlined the specific contribution urban agriculture can make to food security and livelihood development in the region, and to respond to specific needs of several vulnerable groups (schoolchildren, HIV-AIDS affected families, poor urban producers). They also identified a number of closely related key factors that prevent urban agriculture to live up to its potential, including the generally low levels of productivity, the lack of working models and knowledge on sustainable intensification of urban agriculture, the limited capacities of support organizations in areas such as technology development, planning, monitoring and evaluation, and financial services for urban agricultural development, and the low level of priority given to urban agricultural development in policy, law making and planning. Please click here to access the full workshop report. Priorities for the development of regional programmes on urban agriculture in the region were identified as: (1) the development of school gardens, and (2) the strengthening of small urban and peri-urban producers in their production, processing and marketing strategies. A project formulation committee has been put in place and agreements were made to continue promoting urban agriculture development at city, national and regional level. A virtual newsletter, informing all workshop and network participants about progress made and new activities set up, is being disseminated every 3 months.
