PREFACE

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 Organisation 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 organisations participating in the project: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communauté 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.

REPORT OF THE SECOND TECHNICAL CONSULTATION ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FISHERIES OF LAKES EDWARD AND MOBUTU
Kinshasa, 27–29 May 1991

1. The second Technical Consultation on the management of the fisheries of lakes Edward and Mobutu Sese Seko was held in Kinshasa, Zaire, from 27 to 29 of May 1991. A delegation from Zaire and a delegation from Uganda as well as observes participated at this Technical Consultation. The list of participants is given in annex 1.

2. The Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Conservation of Nature, Mr Lumande Kasali opened the meeting in the name of the Minister of Environment and Conservation of Nature. He emphasized the importance of regional collaboration in the management of shared fisheries resources, and expressed his appreciation of the work and achievements of the first Technical Consultation.

3. The Chairman of the first Technical Consultation, Mr. E.S. Kanyike, Commissioner for Fisheries of Uganda, emphasized the importance of these consultations in strengthening regional collaboration for the joint management of these shared fisheries resources.

4. The Director of the National Service for the Promotion and Development of Fisheries in Zaire, Mr. Sabuni Kasereka and Mr. E.S. Kanyike, Commissioner for Fisheries in Uganda, were respectively elected Chairman and Vice Chairman. The agenda given in annex 2 was adopted by the Technical Consultation.

5. The Chairman of the Technical Consultation presented an overview of the priorities, conclusions and recommendations adopted by the first Technical Consultation held in Kampala, Uganda, from 17 to 21 September 1990. It was stressed that based on the deliberations of the three working groups on statistics, research and management, the participants have identified priorities and requirements for technical and financial support in these areas. The creation of a Special Joint Commission on Fisheries was also considered as an essential requirement for effective regional collaboration.

6. The priorities and related need for technical and financial assistance were identified as follows:

1. Institutional strengthening for the management of Lake Edward;

2. The implementation of stock assessment and related research for Lake Mobutu;

3. The improvement of fishing and fish processing techniques and related infrastructure;

4. The training of researchers and fisheries staff including extension personnel.

7. The Technical Consultation examined a draft Protocal of Agreement between the Republic of Uganda and the Republic of Zaire concerning the creation of a Special Joint Commission on Fisheries.

8. The Technical Consultation noted that the terminology used for the names of the two lakes was different in both countries. As a result, the terminology used in the Protocol of Agreement should be considered provisional, awaiting a decision on standardisation by the relevant authorities of both countries.

9. The draft Protocol of Agreement was amended after a thorough examination of the articles as presented in annex 3. The draft Protocol of Agreement was then adopted by the Technical Consultation. The two delegations further agreed to submit the adopted draft Protocol of Agreement to their relevant authorities for ratification.

10. The Chairman presented the draft project proposal prepared by the IFIP Project. He reminded the participants that this project has been prepared in collaboration with the fisheries authorities of both countries on the basis of the priorities and recommendations expressed by the first Technical Consultation. The project proposal was discussed at length and revised accordingly. The revised project proposal is presented in annex 4.

11. The Technical Consultation stressed the importance of this project for the sound management of these resources as a way to ensure an increased and sustained supply of fisheries products to the population as well as a secure source of employment and revenue to the fisherfolks concerned.

12. The Chairman reminded the Technical Consultation that EEC was financing related projects in the area and that it had expressed a strong interest for this project during the first Consultation. The Technical Consultation underlined that this project could be implemented on a regional basis or as two closely coordinated national projects.

13. The Technical Consultation noted that the revised project proposal remained of an indicative nature and that further field work and consultation were required to finalise the preparation of the project document by a donor mission.

14. The Technical Consultation recommended that the two delegations submit this project proposal to the EEC delegation in their respective countries for consideration and for their eventual support to the financing of the aforementioned mission.

15. The mission should further assess the priorities and the need for assistance in achieving the three immediate objectives stipulated in the project proposal and finalise a project document on this basis. The Technical Consultation estimated that a joint mission of 2 or 3 months by a team composed of a fisheries biologist and a fisheries development specialist was required.

16. The Technical Consultation expressed its satisfaction with the support provided by the IFIP Project and recommended that further assistance be provided to facilitate increased cooperation between the two countries.

17. The Technical Consultation requested in particular immediate assistance on the part of IFIP in addressing urgent issues pertaining to the management of Lake Edward. This would entail an assessment of management measures related to the control of fishing effort and fishing practices and making specific proposals to both countries for the harmonization and effective implementation of these measures.

18. This report was adopted on the 29th May 1991.

19. The Technical Consultation recommended that the next meeting be held in Kampala during the period March-May 1992.

PROJECT PROPOSAL ¹

A - Title: REGIONAL PROJECT FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF FISHERIES IN LAKE EDWARD AND LAKE MOBUTU.

B - Duration: 5 years

C - Location and Head office

The project will be carried out in the lake Mobutu and Lake Edward area. The first and main station of the project for Lake Edward ² will be located at Mweya/Lake Katwe in Uganda with a small station at Vitshumbi in Zaire, the second and main station for Lake Mobutu, will be located at Kasenyi/Tchomia in Zaire ³, with a small station at Butiyaba in Uganda.

¹ This indicative project proposal, was prepared following the Technical Consultation on the management of the fisheries of Lake Edward and Lake Mobutu organized by the FAO Regional Project for the Planning of Inland Fisheries (FAO/IFIP) and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA-JEFAD). The proposal is addressed to potential donors and outlines the framework for intervention defined during the consultation by Uganda and Zaire fisheries authorities.

² Where the head office of the Uganda/EEC Project “Technical Assistance to Uganda Institute of Ecology and Conservation of Natural Resources” is already located.

³ Where the infrastructures of the Zaire/EEC Project “Development of fishing crafts for Lake Mobutu” already exist.

D - Objectives:

Long-term objectives:

• To ensure the sustainability of the fisheries resources of Lake Mobutu and Lake Edward through increased knowledge of the fish stocks, and proper management in relation to their ecological and human environment;

• to ensure the supply of protein for the population in the area by resource management, controlled exploitation, the reduction of

• to ensure the supply of protein for the population in the area by resource management, controlled exploitation, the reduction of post harvest losses and the improvement of the nutritional value of fish products.

Immediate Objectives:

• To elaborate and execute a programme for the evaluation of the fisheries resource, (with priority being given to Lake Mobutu);

• to develop and support a common programme for the management of the resource which takes environmental issues into consideration, (with priority being given to Lake Edward);

• to ensure a rational exploitation of the resource and to contribute towards the valorization of fish products.

E - Justification of the project:

Fishing is a major activity in the lakes of the African Rift Valley. It relies mostly on the use of wooden canoes of which a small proportion is motorized. In 1988, total production from Lake Mobutu and Edward was estimated at approximately 26,400 tons for a potential sustainable catch estimated at 34,500 to 49,000 tons.

The two lakes are shared by Zaire and Uganda with each country managing and exploiting its portion of the fishery.

Recent studies show that one of the lakes, Lake Edward, is already overexploited and that the sustainability of present catch levels may be affected.

Signs of overexploitation have not yet arisen for Lake Mobutu. However, the fast growth of the fishery in this lake requires precise data on its potential because the difference between minimum (21,000 tons per year) and maximum (33,000 tons per year) estimates is too big to implement a meaningful programme for their management. A scientific research project would be required for the two lakes: its results could be helpful for future decisions about the development and the management of fishing activities in these waters.

This is all the more necessary since the riparian populations in both Uganda and Zaire suffer from malnutrition and undernourishment. In the Great lakes region, feeding is based on tubers and leguminous plants and there is a profound lack of animal-based products even if fish could provide a cheap source of animal protein. In 1988, fish was providing approximately 35 % of the animal protein needs in the sub-region.

At the moment, development and management of the resource by the local fisheries authorities is difficult due to a lack of means and equipment. To be efficient, the management of the fishery should be jointly undertaken by the two countries.

At the national level, there are many gaps and biases in the fishery statistics collected on both lakes. Indeed, the lack of information-sharing mechanism and standardized data makes a reliable monitoring of catches and fishing effort impossible.

The bad condition of roads in the region requires that most of the catch be processed for preservation and marketing. The techniques presently used reduce the nutritional value representing significant post harvest losses.

For Lake Edward in particular, stocks are now subject to an exploitation level close to the maximum. This could disrupt the delicate bio-economic equilibrium of the whole fishery (decrease in production, overinvestment, unemployment etc.). In order to reach an optimal exploitation of the fisheries, rational management plans have to be implemented. These should also reduce existing and potential conflicts between different components of the fisheries.

Such policy requires a consensus between the two countries sharing the resource because every management effort independently undertaken by one of them would definitely be doomed to fail. This is especially the case if one considers the delicate bio-economic equilibrium of these fisheries. Indeed, the management of these lakes also affects the bio-economic equilibrium of the natural reserves and parks in the Uganda-Zaire Rift.

In order to examine these questions, a technical consultation on the management of the fishery in Lake Edward and Lake Mobutu was organized by the FAO Regional Project for Inland Fisheries Planning (FAO-IFIP) and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA-JEFAD). The meeting took place in Kampala from 17 to 21 of September 1990. The main issues discussed concerned statistics, research and management. It was proposed that a special joint commission on fisheries by Zaire and Uganda authorities be established. A draft Protocol of the Commission has already been proposed and finalised.

F - Strategy and brief description of the project:

The project is embedded in the framework of bilateral cooperation between the Uganda and Zaire governments in the field of managing the shared resources of the two countries. It covers the two lakes (Edward and Mobutu) which are part of the lake systems of the Rift Valley. These two lakes were producing around 26,400 tons in 1988. Overall, fishing contributes significantly to the provision of food in the sub-region. It is also one of the main sources of employment; not only the fishing activity itself but also its associated activities.

Action directed towards management of the fishery is essential and the proposed project intends to fill up the present gaps. It is based on a bilateral approach to prevailing conditions in each country and is directed to an effective dialogue between these countries. In order to prevent possible conflicts of interest which could be faced in the implementation of some activities of the project, it will be closely linked up with the existing projects in charge of the management of the natural reserves/parks established on and around these lakes.

Besides the necessity of a joint approach to fisheries management, advantages of implementing such a project at a sub-regional level are: economies of scale, homogeneous training of a team of experts and cadres, harmonization of working methods, the creation of an effective and efficient management regime for the fisheries through a common structure.

At the time of the Technical Consultation, organized by the FAO-IFIP project and the ECA, the two countries decided that it was essential that the management of the fishery resources and the protected areas be organized in a concerted way based on a strengthened bilateral collaboration. The project was therefore conceived as a regional project. However, in order to facilitate its financing and implementation, the tasks proposed below are divided per country.

Objective No. 1 aims at the elaboration and execution of a research programme for stock assessment, and increased knowledge of biotic and abiotic characteristics of the lakes, of the biology of the main commercial fish species and of socio-economic characteristics of the main fisheries.
