For four decades, fish farming has declined following the breakdown of bilateral cooperation resulting in the sudden departure of expatriate executives, inexperience, and insufficient local expertise. The looting and destruction of fish farming infrastructure led to the cessation of supervision, extension and the abandonment of fish farming activities by fish farmers. Added to this is the deterioration of the economic fabric reinforced by the war and the total insecurity of the city. From 2004 to 2008, the Congolese government benefited from the support of numerous partners for the revival of fish farming: more than 402 fish farmers and 18 NGOs benefited from the support of the World Bank, Belgian technical cooperation, the Bureau Central Coordination, and FAO. Interesting results have been obtained by these projects, but their perpetuation remains dependent on an intensification of the fish farming systems and the implementation of measures capable of enhancing local resources. |
