Africa faces extreme poverty and food and nutrition security challenges. More than 40 percent of the population lives on less than USD 1.90 a day, and 38 percent of children under five are malnourished. Despite fish contributing 18 percent of the total animal-source protein in Africa, fish consumption is the lowest in the world at 9.2 kg per capita, with projections for the future showing little improvement. In Africa, FISH aimed to setting a foundation of research, innovation and partnerships for the future growth and sustainable development of aquaculture and fisheries within the region
