Support to the identification phase of the SADC programme ‘Strengthening co‐management and value chains of sharedfisheries resources in the Zambezi basin’The focus of the briefing report and the work that NFDS will undertake is to:1. Explain the background and rationale for the RTP and this project and to define the scope forthe workplan (Chapter 1);2. Summarise the information base and state of the knowledge of the fisheries in the basin, froma national perspective, but with a regional comparison, probably in a matrix system. Ourintention is to generate country summaries, based on available reports (the RTP reportsshould help with this) and to send out questionnaires to the country focal points to add tothis. Our focus will be on information and knowledge for co‐management of shared resources(Chapter 2);3. Prepare a framework and stakeholder mapping of who does what, with whom and throughwhich mechanisms. This will include a brief overview of the international and national policyand strategy framework and associated processes related to information and knowledge forco‐management, we will do this through review of reports, internet, questionnaires andmeetings (Chapter 3);4. Detail the main issues and challenges in relation to information and knowledge to improve comanagementand then to identify some best‐practice examples as a means to inspire somediscussions and options for interventions. This section may end with an analysis on strengths,weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), but this will also be a major part of theworkshop (Chapter 4); and5. Finally a brief section will explain the next steps, which during and after the workshop willfocus on preparing a workplan for priority activities (Chapter 5).3.3 Administrative approachThe Draft Final Technical Report (DFTR) will be circulated for comments from the ACP Fish II RFUs andthe SADC Secretariat on the 6 September with the draft workplan attached.
