Book excerpt: The meeting covered in this report reaffirmed member countries' commitment to the Aquaculture Network for Africa (ANAF), and came to an agreement on the draft of four legal documents: (i) the ANAF Founding Agreement; (ii) the ANAF Rules of Procedure; (iii) the ANAF Financial Regulations; and (iv) the ANAF Headquarters Agreement. Countries agreed on a clear strategy and roadmap for the establishment of ANAF as an Intergovernmental Organization (IGO). Two options were proposed for the establishment of ANAF: hosting of the ANAF secretariat by a member country as an IGO; or integration of ANAF as a unit within the African Union's InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) structure. The final decision will be taken during the Committee on Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture in Africa (CIFAA) Session to be held in the Republic of the Gambia in May 2017.
