Malcolm Beveridge from the WorldFish Center explains the main results of a visit to Uganda to investigate possibilities for aquaculture value chain development as part of the proposed CGIAR Livestock Fish Mega Program. For this approach to have impacts, he emphasizes the need for the right partnerships -- with the private sector, government, research ... "it is no longer acceptable -- it just doesn't work -- to just produce a technology, drop it in a country, and expect it to work." He was speaking in the margins of the CGIAR Livestock Fish Mega Program stakeholder consultation meeting in Addis Ababa, 24 and 25 August 2010.
