The video highlights the work of FAO Uganda’s Technical Cooperation Project with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF). The TCP; The integrated livelihood support to communities around Lake Victoria aimed to address inadequate diversification of livelihood options among the rural poor fishing communities especially women and youth to improve resilience to threats and crises arising from fisheries management measures to check the high frequency of fishing, coupled with unchecked harmful methods used by some fisherfolk, instigating the need by the Government of Uganda to intervene, in the form of enforced regulations. Enforcement of the government regulations left many people, especially women youth around the L. Victoria jobless hence the need for the TCP to pilot alternative interventions such as aquaculture, cage fish farming, provision of high quality fishing equipment, among others.
