PREFACE
This document is the adopted report of the Sixth Steering Committee of ALCOM
(Aquaculture for Local Community Development Programme). The meeting was hosted by
the Government of Mozambique, and was held in Maputo, Mozambique, from 16 to 19
February, 1993.
The document contains also the Progress Report for 1992, the Work Plan for 1993, and a
document discussing the future of ALCOM from 1993 to 1995.
Members of the Steering Committee are the SADC countries (Angola, Botswana, Lesotho,
Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe); donors; and the
FAO as executing agency.
The main tasks are to
-- monitor and review progress in the implementation of ALCOM.
-- decide on and provide assistance and direction for implementing the annual Work Plan.
The Committee meets annually by rotation in member countries.
ALCOM is a regional aquaculture and fisheries programme of the FAO (Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations). It is based in Harare, Zimbabwe, and covers all the
SADC countries. The aim of ALCOM is to assist member countries to improve the living
standards of rural populations through the practice of aquaculture. Toward this end, pilot
activities are conducted in member countries to demonstrate new ideas, techniques and
methodologies. Successes achieved, ideas derived, lessons learnt, are applied on a wider scale
by member governments.
ALCOM is funded by Sweden and Belgium. Its preparatory phase began in October 1986,
and its first implementation phase in October 1990.
