Since 2008, Iceland and Norway have provided support to Mozambique’s fisheries sector through the Common Fund (CF), which is largely managed by the Mozambican authorities in agreement with the CF funders.

The 2013-2017 CF programme was based on Mozambique’s Fisheries Master Plan 2010-2019.

The budget consisted of donor funding of USD 29 million and Government’s USD 1.2 million. The programme document was a comprehensive analysis of the sector, the country’s strategy, and the proposed programme divided into six components with 31 Outputs.

In 2014 Norway had to reduce its funding considerably, and the following devaluation of the NOK meant that total donor funding was reduced to about USD 21.9 million.
