The five year project (2003/2008) is being implemented by the East African Community Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation (LVFO). It was set up in 1994 to create a common systems management for Lake Victoria conservation.

“A major activity of LVFO over the next five years will be among others strengthening of beach management, upgrading human resources capacity and establishing a strong information and data-base program,†Ohwayo said.
