1.4 Current state of affairs in the relevant sectorThe Zambezi Basin comprises some of Southern Africa’s most important water and fishery resources.They provide economic, food security, social and environmental benefits to about 40 million peopleliving in the Basin and some more outside the area. The Basin covers eighth countries (Angola,Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe) with an area of 1.39million km2 from which over at least 100,000 km2 seasonally under water. Total fish production of theZambezi system is estimated at over 500,000 metric tons annually, many of which is unrecorded, andmore than 500,000 people are directly dependent on fisheries for their livelihoods. Situation of theresources is mostly unknown, as the basin encompasses Zambezi River and its various tributaires, wherethe assessment of stocks is difficult, and the main catchments (both man-made and natural. Situation inthe catchments is controlled by the competent national and regional authorities and fishing effort issubject to regulation and monitoring. The resources in these water bodies and related benefit to thepopulation are stable, providing no deregulation or natural and socio-economic conditions changes willoccur.Among the main drivers of change are continued investments in hydro-energy infrastructure, increasingirrigation development and land use changes, growing populations and urbanization, increasinginvestments in aquaculture in several parts of the Basin, expanding regional markets and trade of fish andfish products, and changing climatic conditions with rising temperatures and changing rainfall patternsalready having an impact on fisheries resources.The entire fishery system – from production to trade – therefore needs to be resilient and able to adapt tosuch changes in order to have a sustainable future. In response to increased threats, the eight ripariancountries – Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe – haveincreased their efforts to safeguard the future of fisheries. Although progress has been achieved in manyplaces, it has remained local and fragmented and has not a significant impact at regional level. Over thelast few years, these experiences have been discussed in several regional fora where recommendationswere developed for a concerted and targeted effort to improve management of the fisheries in theZambezi Basin.Aligned with the Implementation Plan for the SADC Protocol on Fisheries, these recommendationsemphasize the need for an approach that results in demonstrable reduction of poverty, improved foodsecurity and enhanced resilience of fisheries in the face of conflicts over resource access and use, climatechange, new investments in water and energy sectors and other drivers of change.In order to support riparian countries and stakeholders to follow through with required actions, SADCproposed in 2009 a Regional Technical Programme (RTP) to generate common knowledge networks, tostrengthen management and research capacities, and policy and investment options that will enable thelong-term development of the shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi Basin. The RTP should beimplemented through regional and site-specific components that will capture the main developmentchallenges in the Basin. Sites in the RTP would be used as diagnostic sites for assessment and asplatforms for testing and implementing new management and market tools and approaches. Basin-wideassessments, synthesis and dissemination and regional capacity building support will ensure thatknowledge, technologies and management lessons from these sites can be applied in the wider region.SADC could not assure the financial support to cover the full implementation of the RTP (which had anestimated overall budget of US$ 28 million). With the agreement of the riparian beneficiary countries,the initial RTP was then splitted into two sub-programmes:Co-Management of Zambezi Fisheries Resources andImproving Value Chain of Zambezi Fisheries ResourcesPage 3 of 14
Consequently, the Objective 1 of the RTP, on knowledge and information base for adaptive comanagementof shared fisheries resources in the Zambezi basin, has been splitted into the two abovementionedsub-programmes.Because of the new approach, it became necessary to carry out the development of the LogicalFramework of the Sub-programme nº1, Co-Management of Zambezi Fisheries Resources and providingthe related Workplan.1.5 Related programmes and other donor activitiesOther donors are active in the southern African region in support of fisheries at a regional level. Themain ongoing projects are:The World Bank Lake Malawi/Niassa/Nyasa Conservation and Development Project, whichaims at improving the livelihood of people living around the Lake and to improve naturalresource management.The Zambia Pilot Program for Climate Resilience - Phase I, funded by the World Bank. Theproject main sectors are: a) Water, sanitation and flood protection (34%); b) Agriculture, fishing,and forestry (33%); and c) Transportation (33%). The project started in 2010.The FAO Special Programme for Aquaculture Development in Africa - SPADA, endorsed byAU/NEPAD, aims at promoting the drafting of national aquaculture strategies and nationalaquaculture plans which will identify specific sites as well as ways and means for investment.The Southern Africa Regional Environmental Program (SAREP), funded by USAID. Theprogramme in partnership with OKACOM, SADC and other agencies, provides assistance toimprove regional cooperation in management of shared river basins with the goals to conserveand protect biological diversity and improve access to water supply and sanitation. SAREP willbe implemented and funded under a framework USAID-SADC Agreement. The programmebegan in June 2010 and has a duration of 5 years The ACP Fish II programme, operating through the Regional Facilitation Unit (RFU) in Maputoin the Southern Africa (SA) region, consisting of Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Lesotho, Madagascar,Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe respectivefisheries administrations. Programme implementation also foresees coordination and collaboration withkey Regional Fisheries Bodies (RFB), Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO) andRegional Economic Organization (REO) such as the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), the SouthWest Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission (SWIOFC), the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organization(SEAFO), the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC)and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). Under the specific framework ofthis programme, specific projects have been implemented such asElaboration of a management plan for the Kafue Fishery – Zambia and Support for Devising ofthe Aquaculture Development Strategy for Botswana and the development of outlines for theFisheries Management Plan of the Okavango DeltaIn carrying out the assignment, the consultant is expected to liaise with the aforementioned programmesor institutions when appropriate, in order to gather relevant information and to ensure cooperation withthe projects/programmes and to avoid overlapping of activities.Page 4 of 14
