Lake body to co-opt Rwanda, Burundi

LVFO's current members are the EAC's three pioneer member states
Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and it is concerned with research
harmonisation, conservation and management of Lake Victoria.

The Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation has started working on
expanding its mandate to bring on board Rwanda and Burundi, and govern
fisheries resources and fish trade across the region.

LVFO's current members are the EAC's three pioneer member states
Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and it is concerned with research
harmonisation, conservation and management of Lake Victoria.

The inclusion of Rwanda and Burundi will mean the organisation becomes
responsible for inland fishing, aquaculture, Lake Victoria and its
marine life across the five EAC countries.

Officials meeting in Entebbe, Uganda, last month observed that the
region was increasingly turning to fishing for food security and as an
economic activity whose management required a hands-on approach for
sustainability and for the sector to fit into the changing trade
regimes.

"In EAC, there are issues of food security, making fisheries more
important now than before. EAC is implementing the Common Market and
considering the Single Customs Territory, thus fisheries need to show
their contribution," said Timothy Wesonga, EAC senior livestock and
fisheries officer.

Mr Wesonga added that the regional bloc had completed sanitary and
phytosanitary rules to be launched in Arusha this month, to define the
required health standards for major commodities such as fish that are
sold across the region.

Lake Victoria provides an immense source of income, employment, food
and foreign exchange.

Available data from LVFO shows that Lake Victoria produces over
800,000 tonnes of fish catch annually, worth $590 million; of this,
$340 million is generated at the shore while a further $250 million is
earned in exports to Europe.
