Abstract

This article discusses the evolution of the policy governing the initial introduction of fish farming in Malawi. It evaluates the implementation of the policy, paying particular attention to the response of the rural farmers, their expectations and frustrations. The article, based on interviews of farmers and on archival sources, demonstrates that lack of practical support such as the provision of extension workers contributed to the failure of the project. The study has lessons for planners and implementers of similar projects in Malawi and elsewhere in Africa.
