Abstract
Sub-Saharan Africa: context
• One of the regions in the world suffering from high rates of hunger and poverty.
• 26% of the world’s hungry people were located in sub-Saharan Africa in 2010 (FAO and WFP,2010)
• Chronic hunger (malnutrition) is rising in absolute and relative terms, while access to adequate food is a challenge to large populations
• While there are increasing efforts to increase production and access of staple cereals, there is limited attention to improved availability and
access to fish and fish products
