The Cage Fish Farming Policy (CFF Policy) for the EAC was prepared to fulfil obligations in Article 114 of the EAC Treaty and Article 2 of the LVFO Convention to harmonize policies for joint economic development among the EAC Partner States. Its preparation was guided by the EAC Principle of Subsidiarity, where issues to be addressed jointly within the EAC system originate from the national level, are agreed upon and harmonized at a regional level, and adopted and implemented at a national level. The evolution of the EAC CFF Policy benefited from consultations made with members of the Regional Aquaculture Working Group (ARWG) whose constructive comments and guidance shaped this policy. I also wish to acknowledge with sincere thanks staff of the LVFO Secretariat for the invaluable support they rendered during the entire period of preparation of this document Special thanks go to delegates from EAC Partner States, who constituted the Regional Team of Experts, for their active participation and invaluable contributions during the two Regional Validation Workshops, one in Arusha Tanzania on 2nd June 2021 and the second in Bujumbura, Burundi on the 21st June, 2021. Last but not least I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all contributors who made valuable comments that improved this document ; we all helped to shape up the CFF Policy document.
