FFOU’s core membership structure looks at associations, cooperative unions and other community-based organized groups within the sub-sector for fisher communities, local traders, aquaculture fish farmers, processors and exporters, all based on mutual roles, interests and expectations. Partnerships extend to various levels from Government instrumental bodies, research institutions, and management & development organizations to Donor/funder organizations. Affiliations are intended for sharing ideas, experiences with related organizations outside our geographical area of operation or those with in the geographical scope that support or contribute to development of sub-sector but not directly involved in the fisheries activities.
