A new project, costing around 24.6 billion FCFA, aims to boost the contribution of the fishing and aquaculture sector to food security and local economies over the next five years. The project will promote climate-resilient fish farming through the establishment of floating cages and aquaculture villages, and will establish attractive commercial value chains to sell production. It will also support the governance of continental and maritime fisheries and provide support to operational aquaculture businesses to modernize and increase production capacities. The project aims to produce 65 million fry annually and 30,000 tonnes of food.
