Project Summary

Project General Description

The Agriculture Sector Development and Marine Aquaculture Development Study is designed by the Government of Seychelles (GOS) with the support of the African Development Bank Group. This project includes three main components, namely: (i) preparation of an Agriculture Sector Development Project (ASDP) which should involve a review of the agriculture sector contributing to the development of strategies to implement the agriculture sector policy, and culminating in the preparation of ASDP, and (ii) preparation of a Marine Aquaculture Development Plan (MADP) involving a review of the fisheries sector contributing to the elaboration of a marine aquaculture policy and strategy and culminating in the preparation of the MADP. The MADP should have two sub-outputs: (a) framework and guidelines to the GOS which should allow sustainable development of marine aquaculture in Seychelles; and (b) an investment package (fiscal incentives and information) to investors and attract strong investments in the sector.

Project Objectives
