Start Date: 1 October 2006 | End Date: 30 September 2011Overview
WorldFish Center is being sub-contracted by AWF to provide inputs to Phase II of the USAID-funded CARPE “Maringa-Lopori-Wamba” (MLW) landscape management project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The 2nd phase will last 5 years and commenced in October 2006. Although the CARPE landscapes are fundamentally focused on conservation of the Congo River Basin rainforest and threatened flora and fauna therein, WorldFish inputs to the M-L-W landscape will focus on assessments and related follow-up work on (a) the existing / potential role of fisheries/aquaculture in livelihoods, and (b) fisheries management. The main focus at this point is on reducing post-harvest losses and fisheries livelihoods.
