The Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) and FAO National Stakeholders' Workshops on Fishing Effort and Capacity on Lake Victoria (2006) were held to: (i) develop a shared understanding amongst participants regarding the LVFO Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity in Lake Victoria and its Basin (LVFO RPOA-Capacity) and the use of rights-based management approaches as a vehicle for ensuring the sustainable utilization of fisheries resources; (ii) provide feedback regarding the LVFO RPOA-Capacity as input for the Regional RPOA-Capacity Workshop; (iii) outline steps for the development and implementation of National Plans of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity; and (iv) provide stakeholder-generated advice regarding improving tenure security for fishers on Lake Victoria and its basin to be used at the FAO Regional Workshop on Improving Tenure Security for the Rural Poor (Nakuru, Kenya). The results of the workshops included actions for progressing work on the management of fishing capacity as well as guidance for the development of a LVFO RPOA-Capacity. This document contains the report of the workshops as well as information provided by the participants. This document and the actions adopted by the workshop participants can serve as a basis for further work aimed at improving regional fisheries management and the management of fishing capacity.

This document is the final report of the Regional Stakeholders' Workshop on Fishing Effort and Capacity on Lake Victoria. The main purpose of the workshop was to share, recognize and include the national stakeholders' perspectives and concerns that had been provided by national stakeholders at previously held national workshops in the respective Partner States regarding the draft Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity on Lake Victoria and its Basin (RPOA-Capacity). Participants recommended a number of amendments on several Articles of the Draft RPOA-Capacity and collectively agreed to commit to the amended draft RPOA-Capacity, to request that the LVFO adopt the draft RPOA-Capacity and to forward it to the Council of Ministers of the LVFO for endorsement.

The main objectives of the workshop were to raise the importance of managing fishing capacity and effort and discuss strategies that may be used to reduce capacity where necessary as part of taking measures for ensuring long-term sustainable utilization of the fishery resources of Lake Victoria; to develop and agree on mechanisms for assessing overall capacity on the entire lake; and to highlight the linkages between the management of fishing effort, capacity, and concomitant IUU fishing. The results of the workshop include actions for progressing work on the management of fishing capacity as well as guidance for the development of a Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity on Lake Victoria. This document contains the report of the workshop as well as the papers and input provided by the participants.
