The IORA Secretariat, with the support of the AFD technical assistance to the IORA, organised a “Webinar to review the existing capacity and needs of IORA Member States for aquaculture development”. The objective of this webinar was to have a better understanding of the IORA Member States’ needs and priorities on aquaculture development and to gather information on IORA MS’ needs across a broad range of domains including species selection, site selection, breeding, fish feed development, environment and disease. Group exercises was carried out to gather information on IORA MS’ needs of support and organisation on the selected aquaculture domains requiring further development. The information gathered from this webinar will support developping proposals to reinforce the capacity of IORA Member States.
