In June 2017, WFFP organised a successful Inland Fisheries Exchange at the Vanderkloof Dam in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa -10, in preparation for the workshop on Inland Fisheries to be held at the 7th General Assembly of the WFFP in November 2017. The Exchange was organised by the WFFP Working Group on Inland Fisheries, with the support of the WFFP international secretariat. The exchange was hosted by Masifundise and participants from local communities of Keurtijeskloof, Petrusville and Luckhoff, who fish at the Vanderkloof Dam. The international participants were Christiana Louwa, El Molo Forum (Kenya) and WFFP The participants, both local and international, provided case-studies that focused on their local context, contributing to an overview of the characteristics of inland small-scale fishing and the challenges inland fishing communities face around the world. Such an overview led to the identification of key points of entry for actions, particularly within WFFP. As a result of the exchange, this report and a position paper about inland small-scale fishing have been produced.
