“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish, and he can feed himself for life”
Fisheries Education and Training Agency (FETA) is established by merging two fisheries institutions, Mbegani Fisheries Development Centre (MFDC) and Nyegezi Freshwater Fisheries Institute (NFFI) in line with Fisheries Master Plan (URT 2000). The two institutions are under the Ministry of Livestock Development and Fisheries and are fully accredited by the National Council for Technical Education (NACTE).
MFDC was established by the Government in 1966 as an artisanal fisheries development centre. The main objective was to catalyze technological improvement on fishing crafts for better sea endurance and construction of appropriate fishing gears for improved catching efficiency.
