BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR, FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
Lake
Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) is an institution of the East
African Community (EAC) charged with the management and development of
fisheries and aquaculture. It was formed by a Convention in 1994 with
major amendments in 2016. It is accommodated under Article 9.3 of EAC
Treaty and registered as a Regional Fisheries Management Organization
(RFMO) under the FAO UN Charter CAP 102. The overall objective of the
LVFO is to promote sustainable management and development of the
fisheries and aquaculture in order to contribute to food security and
economic growth in the EAC region. The 2016 amendment to the Convention
that established LVFO expanded her mandate and scope to cover among
others issues of fish quality, trade, and marketing.
In
addition, as EAC Partner States submit their instruments of accession
to the Repository (FAO) and join the Organization, the number of main
stream and project staff increases. Against this background, LVFO
Secretariat is seeking to recruit competent staff to fill position of
Director, Fisheries Management and Development to strengthen the
Organization, to deliver on her mandate.
