The AFIWEL Program was established by One Health and Development Initiative (OHDI), a non-profit organization that works to address correlated issues of human, animal, and ecosystem health using the integrated “One Health” approach. Animal Welfare is one of our core areas of work which we recognize as an important contributor to One Health and sustainable development. Under this focus area, we have been implementing several activities to advance and promote fish welfare and its integration into fish production systems. These include the publication of our Fish Welfare Training Guide, the development of an online training course on fish welfare, training programs for fish farmers and aquaculture stakeholders in public and private sector, and public awareness activities. While several of these interventions have been piloted in Nigeria, they are now being scaled to key aquaculture-producing countries in Africa through the Africa Fish and Aquaculture Welfare (AFIWEL) Program.
