FAO then subcontracted the WorldFish - Egypt to perform certain tasks of this project. This report highlights the activities conducted by WorldFish in supporting the development of the strategy up to September 2021. A review of relevant national policy and planning documents, consultancy reports and other summary documents related to fish health and biosecurity was conducted.
