ACP Fish II is a demand-driven programme financed by the European Commission (EC) under the 9th European Development Fund (EDF) aimed at strengthening fisheries management in ACP countries.
The Programme has been developed to contribute to the sustainable and equitable management of fisheries and by extension will lead to poverty alleviation and improved food security in ACP countries.
Over € 3.3 million have been allocated to implement 31 national and regional fisheries and aquaculture projects in the Eastern Africa Region.
13 of these projects are completed, while 3 others are ongoing, and the remaining 15 projects are at various levels of development.
Rwanda is receiving support from the Programme alongside other countries of the region through a number of projects for its fisheries and aquaculture sector management and development.
