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.
