Background Information
The Assignment br>This consultancy aims to achieve the following objectives:


To assess and align national fisheries and aquaculture policies and strategies with the Policy Framework and Reform Strategy (PFRS) for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa and relevant international instruments.
o review national frameworks in order to propose specific recommendations for the alignment and domestication of global instruments and international conventions.
To support African Union Member States (AU-MS) in developing and implementing fisheries and aquaculture strategies and National Agricultural Investment Plans (NAIPs) that align with the PFRS and climate adaptation goals. This also includes establishing peer-review and twinning mechanisms to strengthen sectoral coherence and policy capacity in line with the PFRS.

Contracting authority
AU-IBAR is a specialized technical office under the Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture (DREA) of the African Union Commission (AUC), tasked with coordinating and supporting the use of animal resources—including livestock, fisheries, aquaculture, and wildlife—for economic development and human well-being across AU Member States. Its Strategic Plan 2018–2023 envisions an Africa where animal resources significantly contribute to integration, prosperity, and peace.
A -IBAR’s fisheries and aquaculture work is guided by the PFRS, developed in response to recommendations from the first and second Conferences of African Ministers of Fisheries and Aquaculture (CAMFA I & II), and endorsed at the 2014 African Union Summit in Malabo. The PFRS aims to improve governance in the sector to enhance its contribution to food security, livelihoods, and wealth creation. It is aligned with the African Union Agenda 2063 and the Africa Blue Economy Strategy, which promotes an inclusive and sustainable blue economy. < r>One of the statutory roles of the AUC is to draft common positions and coordinate AU Member States’ engagement in international negotiations. In the fisheries sector, some progress has been made in ratifying and implementing global instruments such as the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA), the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), and the UN Fish Stock Agreement (UNFSA), as well as regional and continental instruments. < r>Nevertheless, further efforts are needed to encourage AU Member States to ratify and implement relevant instruments.
This requires :


Capacity- uilding support.
Monitoring mechanisms to track implementation progress.
Studies to identify opportunities and changes related to global instruments—building on awareness created under FishGov1. < r> A tions to strengthen compliance frameworks.

Background
Africa’s fisheries sector produces over 11 million tonnes of fish annually, employs over 12 million people, and contributes approximately 1.24% to the continent’s GDP. It plays a vital role in ensuring food and nutritional security for over 200 million Africans and serves as a primary livelihood source for many rural communities. The sector holds substantial potential for reducing poverty and promoting rural development.
In support of these initiatives, AU-IBAR facilitated a consultative process to develop the ‘Guide for the Implementation of the PFRS’, involving stakeholders such as AU Member States, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), regional institutions, non-state actors (NSAs), and development partners. This Guide serves as a complementary document to the PFRS, offering practical implementation direction.
Cur ent situation in the sector
AU-IBAR, through a series of participatory consultations, developed A Guide for the Implementation of the Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa. This guide was produced through inclusive processes involving AU Member States (AU-MS), Regional Economic Communities (RECs), regional institutions, non-state actors (NSAs), members of the African Fisheries Reform Mechanism (AFRM), development partners, and experts. It serves as a complementary tool to the PFRS, providing practical guidance for its implementation.
Building on the achievements of FishGov1, the second phase of the initiative—titled “Enhancing Sustainable Fisheries Management and Aquaculture Development in Africa: A Programme for Accelerated Reform of the Sector (FishGov2)” and supported by the European Union—aims to further strengthen the contribution of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture to the African Union’s Agenda 2063. It focuses on advancing food security, improving livelihoods, and promoting wealth creation across the continent.
While some progress has been made in the ratification and implementation of international fisheries-related instruments—such as the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA), the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement (UNFSA), and various regional charters—significant gaps remain. Continued support is needed for AU Member States to fully domesticate and operationalize these instruments. This requires capacity building, research and studies to consolidate knowledge, effective monitoring systems, and mechanisms to ensure compliance.
These challenges hinder the sector’s ability to meet sanitary, safety, and market standards, thereby limiting its contribution to national GDP, food security, and climate resilience. A persistent lack of targeted investment in addressing climate change and environmental degradation across the fisheries and aquaculture value chain continues to threaten both sustainability and economic viability. < r>To close these gaps, National Agricultural Investment Plans (NAIPs) and Regional Agricultural Investment Plans (RAIPs) must be reviewed and updated to align with the PFRS and to integrate environmental sustainability and climate change adaptation strategies. This alignment will help improve the sector’s resilience and ensure long-term sustainability. The outcomes of this consultancy will be critical in enhancing policy coherence, promoting peer learning through country twinning, and supporting the development of realistic policies and budgeting frameworks. < r>One of the strategic objectives of the FishGov2 Project is to strengthen the capacities of Member States, RECs, and Regional Fisheries Bodies (RFBs) to develop coherent, realistic, and sustainable fisheries and aquaculture policies, aligned with the PFRS. To this end, one of the core activities is the commissioning of consultancies to review national policies, legal frameworks, and agricultural investment plans. This effort aims to ensure alignment with the PFRS, integrate climate change adaptation, and promote coherent sector governance. It also includes the formulation of recommendations to support the domestication of relevant global instruments.
Nearly fifteen countries have already benefited from this initiative. In light of its positive impact, it has been agreed to extend the support to ten additional African Union Member States which are the subject of these Terms of Reference. In this regard, AU-IBAR, under the FishGov2 Project, seeks to identify and engage national consultants in these ten countries. The consultants will support the alignment of national fisheries and aquaculture policies, assess the domestication of global instruments, and ensure that National Agricultural Investment Plans (NAIPs) reflect the priorities outlined in the PFRS and incorporate climate adaptation frameworks.
The Consultancies for Alignment of National Fisheries and Aquaculture Strategies and the National Agricultural Investment Plans to the Policy Framework and Reform Strategy for Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa and Climate-Change Adaptation, including the Formulation of Recommendations for Domestication of Relevant Global Instruments, would target in the initial stage the following African Union Member States:

Background
The Resilient African Feed and Fodder Systems (RAFFS) Project is an emergency response initiative jointly implemented by AU-IBAR and the Gates Foundation, designed to address short- and medium-term feed and fodder shortages that have severely impacted Africa’s livestock production, food systems, and nutrition security.
