Abstract:Despite the new development rhetoric emphasizing sustainability, preservation of biodiversity, natural resource management, income generation and participatory research, the new World Bank Malawi Fisheries Development Project (MFDP), for which the memorandum of understanding was signed in February 1991, represents a continuation of past practices. This article examines the underlying conceptual framework and implications of this World Bank project in the light of research among fishing communities on Lake Malawi, started in 1989. It discusses the issues of employment and income generation and the preservation of Lake Malawi's ecology. The Bank, it is argued, is mistakenly promoting assistance to the large-scale commercial fishing sector rather than attempting to implement more innovative and collaborative project initiatives with small-scale fishers, processors and traders who comprise the vast majority of lake users.
