WorldFish is an international, non-for-profit research organization that works to reduce hunger,
malnutrition and poverty across Africa, Asia and Pacific. With a 45-year track record of leading
science, the organization generates scientific evidence and innovations for the inclusive and
sustainable development of aquaculture and fisheries to improve livelihoods and healthier diets
for millions of people -- particularly women, children and young people -- who depend on fish for
nourishment, incomes and job opportunities.
This document presents the overarching concept by WorldFish for establishing the Fish for Africa
Innovation Hub, set up as a public private partnership and operating as an independent non-forprofit
organization.
The Fish for Africa Innovation Hub mobilizes regional and global businesses, research institutions
and government into an innovative public-private partnership that supports research and
development for sustainable aquaculture and fish value chains in Africa, and ensures the hub’s
sustainability in the long run.
The hub aims to foster cutting edge science, technology, policy and market innovations to
transform aquaculture and fish value chains in Africa in order to meet growing consumer demand
for affordable, safe and nutritious fish produced sustainably and improve the livelihoods of Africa’s
citizens
