The Partnership for African Fisheries (PAF) was established in April 2009 with funding from the British Government. Implementation is currently managed by the NEPAD Agency. PAF seeks to strengthen Africa’s ability to devise and implement policies for growth in the fisheries sector. It will do this through
facilitating participative research, training and information sharing in selected technical areas. Through establishing dynamic, fluid and multi-stakeholder partnerships and through engagement at the political level, it will ensure that the African fisheries sector (in its broadest sense) has a voice and that this voice is heard.
