Name of Consulting Assignment:Mobile Application (App) Development for the Post Harvest & Value Addition Section (PHVA) of the Seychelles Fishing Authority (SFA)The Seychelles Fishing Authority has led numerous campaigns aimed at sensitizing the population of Seychelles on the various uses of fish and its nutritional benefits. However, the tendency of the population to consume fish has been on the decline. This trend stems mostly from lifestyle and demographic changes, as the markets are increasingly dominated by alternative protein sources. Increases in the price of fish and a lack of knowledge on how to properly prepare and cook fish of different varieties may also constitute important factors. In addition, most consumers are unaware that there are many alternatives to the higher-value species of fish that they are used to consuming.SFA has recognized the need for a digital platform to enable more efficient sharing of post-harvest information with the general public and stakeholders. This platform will also address concerns of transparency and information dissemination that are requisite for systematic improvements in service delivery by SFA.
