FARM-Africa Launches Aqua Shops Project in Western Kenya
FARM-Africa and partners are launching a pilot Aquaculture (fish farming) project in Nyakach and Samia districts, western Kenya, this week.
The 15 month project will build a wide network of franchised outlets delivering a range of affordable, quality-assured products and services to farmers - helping them to build new livelihoods.
The project, funded by DFID's Research Into Use programme, will encourage the private sector to drive the growth of the fish farming industry and create public-private partnerships in service provision.
This pilot is being run in partnership with NR International; University of Sterling, Institute of Aquaculture and Imani Development. The approach is based on a Department for International Development (DFID) model that has contributed to large-scale uptake of aquaculture in Eastern India, and has improved the livelihoods of 20,000 poor farmers and entrepreneurs.
The project will be launched by the Honourable. Dr. Paul Otuoma, the Minister of Fisheries Development at Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu.

Quite revitalizing project in spurring the fishing industry in the wake of dwindling fisheries, not only in Kenya, but the East African region. Good job. Keep it up.
