PREFACE
The Workshop on Methods to Promote Aquaculture in Rural Development reported in this document was an activity of ALCOM - Aquaculture for Local Community Development Programme. The workshop was a forum for presenting and discussing the results of ALCOM's first pilot project, Field Testing of Aquaculture in Rural Development, Eastern Province, Zambia.
ALCOM is an inter-regional programme executed by FAO, with a preparatory phase funded by Sweden (SIDA) from 1986–1989. Initially, ALCOM focusses on the activities of the SADCC countries.
The main objective of ALCOM is to develop, test, and demonstrate strategies, methods, and techniques by which rural populations can improve their standards of living through aquaculture.
During the preparatory phase work concentrated on desk studies, missions, surveys and technical consultations at the regional level, and on the pilot project in Eastern Province, Zambia. The activities are ultimately aimed at methodology development and are intended to provide the basis for continuing aquaculture development efforts during ALCOM's second phase.
