Training for Fisheries Management Planning in EthiopiaFinal ReportEthiopian fisheries and the management of these. As Key Expert 2 was an Ethiopiannational, some fieldwork discussions and training facilitation took place in Amharic.Consultations were conducted with MoA and key government stakeholders as an on-going process toensure that the training content, learning objectives and FMP were acceptable to the needs of thecountry. The possibility of setting up an FMP management team involving senior managers and keystakeholders from the fisheries sector was explored and terms of reference for this group weredrafted and sent to the MoA for further action.4 Description of ActivitiesThis section provides an overview of the various different activities undertaken as per the terms ofreference.4.1 Briefings and Courtesy CallsA briefing with the MoA and ACP Fish II Regional Coordinator was held on March 16 th in Addis Ababa.It was suggested during the briefing by the MoA that two FMPs be developed. Courtesy calls werethen conducted and combined with the TNA process which involved meetings and discussions withkey stakeholders in Addis Ababa, Oromia and Southern Regions. These meetings enabled theconsultants to raise awareness of the objectives and the nature of the work, solicit key stakeholdersviews and ideas as well as provide an opportunity to collect further data to help the FMP developmentprocess (see Annex 2). The outline design of the training workshop was also discussed. Terms ofreference were drawn up for an FMP advisory group who would be a reference point for theconsultants during the implementation of activities. The tors were forwarded to the MoA to identifythe group members.4.2 Document ReviewA key aspect of an FMP is presenting an understanding of the fishery concerned including biologicalinformation, past and current management and a stakeholder analysis as well as situation analysis.To assist with this a review of available secondary data was made as an initial activity during themission. The review developed an understanding of key issues and helped identify gaps in knowledgeand set the scene for primary data collection through key stakeholder consultations and during theFMP training development workshop. The document review contributed to the understanding of thefollowing:Synthesis of national policy documents related to fisheries management in Ethiopia.Set of lessons learnt from related fisheries management examples.Fisheries management measures and approaches used within Ethiopia.Overview of the target fisheries including ecology, biological characteristics of the stocks,productivity levels, stock assessment, existing management systems, the nature of existingfisheries activities related to stock exploitation etc.Stakeholder analysis.SWOT considering biological, ecological, social and economic factors.The document review was presented in the Interim Technical Report submitted by the consultantsand information from it was subsequently incorporated into the draft FMPs for Lake Chamo andZiway.P a g e | 6Project funded by the European UnionA project implemented by Cardno Emerging Markets (UK) Ltd
Training for Fisheries Management Planning in EthiopiaFinal Report4.3 Training Needs AssessmentA training needs assessment was carried out to identify knowledge, skills and attitudes required byfishery officers and other key stakeholders to be involved in the FMP training workshop. This sectionof the report summarises the results of the TNA process which was guided by the checklist in Annex3. The results here were used to help finalize the design of the training workshop and modules andsome issues have been used to inform the two draft FMPs. More detailed information is presented inthe TNA matrix (Annex 4).4.3.1 PrioritiesIn order to help focus the training on the long term development objectives of the sector, discussionswere held with those responsible for overall or higher-level fisheries management decision making,planning and implementation. The aim was to identify the future priorities or long-term objectivesthey have, particularly in regard to fisheries management and the skills and knowledge of fisheriesofficers. The priorities are summarised as follows including the relevant stakeholder group fromwhich the information came:Fisheries and other proclamations to be applied (Research, trader’s organisation).Management strategies applied immediately especially measures related to mesh size, geartype, closed areas, closed seasons (MoA, Research, trader’s org, Cooperatives).Licensing of fishermen implemented (MoA, trader’s organisation).Number of fishermen reduced (MoA).More fisheries officers at zonal and district levels (MoA).Policymakers are aware of the importance of fisheries and the need for serious managementof the resources (MoA).Prevent open access (Research, trader’s organisation).Systematic data collection in place (Research).Control environmental impacts of industry, agriculture, deforestation (MoA, Research,Cooperatives).Awareness raising of zonal and woreda policy makers on the problems faced (Research).Awareness raising of all stakeholders on co-management (Research).Prevent new entrants being encouraged into fishery (Ziway Agric Bureau).New fisheries officers have proper fisheries science educational level and background (MoA).Improved government collaboration and coordination (Cooperative, Research).In theory, the training and implementation of the FMP developed by the mission should contributedirectly or indirectly to the achievement of all of these priorities. To a large extent these prioritiesidentified during the TNA are also reflected in the FMPs.P a g e | 7Project funded by the European UnionA project implemented by Cardno Emerging Markets (UK) Ltd
