Partners from Lake Victoria
We also work with fisheries biologists from local partner organisations in the three riparian countries, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya.
La
ke Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) is a specialised institution of the East African Community with the mandate to coordinate sustainable management and utilisation of the fisheries resources across the three riparian countries of Lake Victoria. LVFO provides direct input for the research project and plays a key role in translating the research findings into policy.
Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute (TAFIRI), the Ugandan National Fisheries Resources Research (NaFIRRI) and the Kenyan Marine Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) are the three fisheries institutes that are mandated with sustainable management of the fishery. These partners have co-designed MultiTip and facilitate fieldwork (providing enumerators, technical assistance, translation and logistical services) and access to participants for studies.
Scientific Advisory Board
To ensure high-quality research, our scientific advisory board is made up of world-leading experts in natural resource economics, social and decision sciences, aquatic ecology, applied system science and psychology.
