Workshop report: 2025-10.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12348/6475On February 13–14, 2024, WorldFish held a stakeholders dialogue–training workshop at Tiffanys’ Canyon in Kafue, Zambia. The workshop fell under the scope of the digital fisheries information systems (FIS) component of the Program for Improving Fisheries Governance and Blue Economy Trade Corridors (PROFISHBLUE), which is executed, implemented and managed by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and funded by the African Development Bank. The key objective of the workshop was to provide aquaculture and fisheries stakeholders and value chain actors with introductory training on climate information services (CIS) alongside a collective dialogue. The goal was to identify climate variabilities and risks impacting aquaculture and fisheries in Zambia in order to develop a climate-responsive decision-making framework that could help reduce climate risks and build climate resilience of the relevant actors. In addition, the workshop aimed to identify the critical data and information needs for developing a digital CIS platform for aquaculture in the country.PDFCC-BY-NC-4.0digital information systemclimate-smart aquacultureclimate advisory servicesReport
