Training for Fisheries Management Planning in EthiopiaFinal Reportsenior government fishery officers and influencing factors which could assist or hinderthe uptake of FMPs and training, have been reflected in the FMPs produced by the mission.A seven day training workshop was held in Hawassa for 13 participants, thus accommodating a MoArequest for more trainees to be trained. Participants, who were fishery officers, came from Oromia,SNNPRS and Ahmara Regions and represented Regional, Zonal and Woreda governmentadministrative levels as well as research institutions. On the one hand this made addressing alltraining needs challenging, but the mix enhanced the FMP development process during the workshop.The trainees were taken through the key stages of FMP development and “learnt by doing”. A set oftraining modules was developed which could be used by the trainees, or others, in future. Technicalinformation developed during the workshop was used to help develop the tow FMPs for Lake Ziwayand Lake Chamo. These focussed on Lake Chamo and Lake Ziway, which are seen as the mostoverexploited and yet commercially important RVLs. The draft FMPs are working documents whichrequire further development and discussion. They reflect a precautionary approach to futuremanagement and promote a co-management system which mirrors the government administrativestructure. They also reflect and highlight the lack of information on stocks, fishing effort and socioeconomicdata. It is recommended that the template for the FMPs be used by traineesrepresenting lakes Tana, Abaya and Hawassa to develop similar FMPs for those fisheries.The draft FMPs were discussed at validation meetings towards the end of the mission and are now atthe stage where government should present the ideas and proposed measures and co-managementapproach to a wider audience of stakeholders including the resource users. Implementation of theFMPs is beyond the scope of this mission but is something which needs to be thought about andfunded either by government or with outside support such as the ACP Fish II programme and otherinterested donors. Both plans include Action plans which highlight the key next steps to developmentand implementation. It is recommended that the MoA and Regional governments carry out a widerconsultation process with resource users and other key stakeholder groups regarding the draft FMPswith a view to implementing the plans as soon as possible. The Action Plans contained in the FMPsshould be used to guide the immediate necessary next steps.6 ReferencesEU/MoA (1997) Lake Management Plans.
