Abstract

The main objective of the census was to provide baseline data for the Aquaculture Technical, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training for Improved Private Sector and Smallholder Skills project (AQ TEVET). The project is implemented by WorldFish in partnership with the Natural Resource Development College in Lusaka, Zambia, the BluePlanet in Norway and the Musika Development Initiatives in Zambia’s Northern and Luapula provinces. AQ TEVET aims to increase the number of human resources working for the private sector. It also aims to increase the number of smallholder commercial fish farmers with enhanced aquaculture knowledge and up-to-date practical skills to help sustainably grow the sector and make it more inclusive. The census collected data to understand the smallholder fish farming systems in Northern and Luapula provinces, including the fish farmers, their locations and the fish production systems. The census collected the following data on the smallholder farmers: (i) the demographics of the farmers, (ii) fish farming background, (iii) resources and fish species cultured, (iv) gender, youth and the division of roles in fish farming, (v) access to input and output markets, (vi) production constraints and opportunities, (vii) and the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the farming households.
