IFMP Project,Jinja.Preparation of materials such as hand-outs of key technical information, case studies, working groupsessions, and practical work activities was undertaken prior to the workshop. As well as hard copiesof materials and references, a resource CD including all the training material plus the key referencedocuments was produced as part of the consultancy and made available to all trainees and MoAofficials.It was not be possible to pilot test the training process and modules, due to time limitations prior tothe workshop. As a consequence, the FMP workshop acted as an opportunity to pilot the modules,process and materials. Changes identified during the training have been incorporated into themodules presented in Annex 5.4.5 FMP Training WorkshopA total of 13 fishery officers and researchers from Oromia, SNNPRS and Amhara regions participatedin a seven-day participatory FMP training and development workshop held in Hawasa from April 4 to12th. A list of workshop participants is given as Annex 6. A workshop timetable is given as Annex 7.The technical content of the workshop is highlighted in the section above and the modules arepresented as Annex 5.The workshop combined theory, working group sessions, plenary discussion and practical fieldwork.Participants learning was assessed as an on-going process using recapping question and answersessions and the results of practical work which involved the development of draft FMPs for targetfisheries. Daily evaluations helped the trainers understand what was going well and what was notgoing well and required immediate attention. A final evaluation exercise was conducted to enableparticipants to provide feedback on all aspects of the training. The results of this are provided asAnnex 8 and indicate that the workshop was well received and appropriate.Emphasis during the workshop was placed on providing key technical background and knowledge andthen guiding the trainees to learn for themselves and to use their existing knowledge andunderstanding to develop inputs for the draft FMPs. This helped build up a high degree of localownership of the FMPs, increasing the likelihood of uptake.Technical information developed during the workshop was used to help develop the Lake Ziway andLake Chamo FMPs presented as Annexes 9 and 10.4.6 Development of FMP and ValidationAlthough the bulk of the mission (75%) was devoted to the TNA, workshop and training preparationand the training workshop itself, 20% of time was allocated for the development of a draft case studyFMP. At the request of the MoA, two draft FMPs were developed. These focus on Lake Chamo andLake Ziway, which are seen as the most overexploited and yet commercially important RVLs. TheFMPs are presented as Annexes 9 and 10. The FMP structure used follows the relatively simple, short,concise approach proscribed in Hindson et al (2005) and consists of:P a g e | 12Project funded by the European UnionA project implemented by Cardno Emerging Markets (UK) Ltd
Training for Fisheries Management Planning in EthiopiaFinal ReportIntroduction.Overview of fishery.Status stocks.Current management issues.Stakeholder analysis.Situation analysis and SWOT.Long terms objectives for the fishery (based on the best scientific information available).Specific management objectives.Management measures.Co-management.Action Plan.Sessions and consultations during the training workshop were used to help draft key sections of theFMPs and hence include the knowledge, experiences and ideas of a cross-section of stakeholdersinvolved in the use or management of the target fisheries as well as the knowledge and experience ofthe consultancy team. Following the workshop the information available was embellished by theconsultants and technically edited.In order to validate the draft FMPs two workshop/meetings were convened, one for each FMP, atwhich a cross-section of key stakeholders from each region identified in the stakeholder analysis wereinvited to discuss the draft documents (see Annex 11). Feedback from the meetings was then used tofinalise the two draft FMPs (See Annexes 9 and 10) In the absence of up to date information onstocks and evidence of overexploitation the FMPs present a precautionary approach to futuremanagement and a system of co-management which mirrors the existing government administrativestructure but with the inclusion of resource users and community representatives. Each FMP includesan Action plan which outlines the immediate and short term follow-on activities related to the furtherdevelopment of the FMPs and their implementation.5 Conclusions and RecommendationsThis section presents the main conclusions and recommendations from the mission.Firstly, all activities proposed within the terms of reference were completed. In accordance with thetors, the bulk of the mission (75%) was devoted to the TNA, workshop and training preparation andthe training workshop itself. A further 20% of time was allocated to the development of two draftcase study FMPs, including two validation meetings with key stakeholders.Courtesy calls and TNA interviews were conducted by the Key Experts in conjunction with Federal,Regional and Zonal government fishery experts. Meetings were held with a cross section of public andprivate sector stakeholders in Oromia and SNNPRS regions to introduce the mission, implement theTNA and collate information for the document review. A draft document review was produced whichwas later incorporated into the two FMPs produced: Lake Chamo and Lake Ziway.The results of the TNA were used to design a participatory workshop process and guide thedevelopment of training modules and materials.
