Seven country case studies of fish marketing and distribution patterns are presented in this collection. Country studies of Burundi, Lesotho, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe were prepared in accordance with a recommendation of the Technical Consultation on Aquaculture and Human Nutrition (Maseru, Lesotho, 5-8 June 1989). The selected countries represent a considerable range of circumstances in terms of such dimensions as territorial extent, access to marine or freshwater resources, domestic production capcities, and traditions of fisheries and fish consumption. An introductory overview chapter provides a summary account based on the format used for each of the case presentations, and sets out general recommendations for further development action on a region-wide basis.

One of the most promising approaches to poverty reduction in developing countries is to encourage sustainable livelihoods for the poor. This takes account of their opportunities and assets and the sources of their vulnerability. Based on recent and extensive research, this volume thoroughly assesses the value of the livelihoods approach to urban poverty. The book reviews the situation and strategies of the urban poor and identifies the policies and practical programmes that work best. Lasting improvements depend not just on economic development, but on political commitment and structures that are responsive to the claims and needs of different groups of poor people.
