AQUACULTURE FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
WORK PLAN FOR 1988
The main elements of the Work Plan for 1988 are outlined below. The Work Plan will be elaborated and a time schedule for main activities worked out based on the recommendations of the Advisory Committee Meeting, 3–5 November 1987 and the findings during the formulation mission, November–December 1987.
(1) Preparations for the second phase of the Programme
Based on the recommendations for major target areas for the second phase of the Programme preparatory work for further pilot projects will be carried out. The main activities will be:
literature reviews for major target areas
missions to participating countries to prepare pilot projects
preparation of work plans for pilot projects
(2) Establishment of contacts with other regions
The aim is to establish contacts with ongoing development efforts for rural aquaculture in other regions to share experiences and create channels for information. Initially these contacts will be focusing on Africa and South Asia, where extensive experiences have been gained on development of aquaculture in rural development, through practical projects and research. These experiences will be utilized when planning pilot projects and to facilitate dissemination of information to the participating countries.
(3) Survey methodology
The surveys initiated in Zambia will form the basis for revision and finalization of the survey methodology. The survey will be repeated in other Provinces in Zambia (Provinces to be decided in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries) and also carried out in one or two other countries in the region to obtain comparative results.
(4) Pilot project in Eastern Province of Zambia
The pilot project will continue during 1988 with the same approach as described earlier. During the year:
initial production results will be obtained
a description of the approach and initial results will be published
an evaluation of the approach will be carried out
the pilot project will be expanded to other areas in the project region
(5) Documentation and library
Working papers and technical reports will be published covering the Technical Consultation on Aquaculture in Rural Development, the First Advisory Committee Meeting report, Survey Results, and Description of the approach and results in the pilot project in Eastern Province in Zambia. An occasional information leaflet on issues in rural aquaculture development will be published.
A classification and acquisition system for the Programme's library will be established and literature on social, cultural, economic, environmental, biological, and technical aspects in rural small-scale aquaculture acquired.
(6) Second Advisory Committee Meeting
The Second Advisory Committee Meeting will be held during 1988. Time and venue are still to be decided.
(7) Technical consultations, workshops
One technical consultation or workshop will be organized to deal with a subject related to small-scale rural aquaculture to be decided on the basis of needs identified during the Advisory Committee Meeting and the formulation mission, November–December 1987.
(8) Mid-term evaluation
A mid-term evaluation of the preparatory phase of the Programme will be carried out during the first half of 1988.
