The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has called upon African governments to forge partnerships with the private sector in a bid to drive the growth of aquaculture.
Recognizing the pivotal role aquaculture plays in addressing critical challenges, such as food security, poverty eradication, and community empowerment, FAO said there is an urgent need for collaborative action.
By fostering collaboration between governments and the private sector, Fishery and Aquaculture Officer at the FAO Regional Office for Africa Dismas Mbabazi on Tuesday said the continent should tap into the vast potential of aquaculture to diversify diets and meet the nutritional needs of millions.
