The WorldFish Center, in partnership with FAO, is implementing the regional programme "Fisheries and HIV/AIDS in Africa: investing in sustainable solutions". This programme aims at strengthening the capacity in the region to develop sustainable solutions to enhance the contributions of fish and fisheries to economic and human development. In particular, the programme is building a strategic response to HIV/AIDS in the fisheries sector that will generate benefits for vulnerable groups in wider society. Under the Zambia component of this regional programme, research for development activities took place in the Kafue Flats fishery. This guide is one of the technical outputs, providing practical steps to implementing organisations working to improve the well-being of fisher men and fish traders in Zambia and beyond.
