Impact Logic
What changes if the model works
How TIFF converts aquaculture into food security, jobs and lake stewardship.
Strategic Priorities
Priorities that shape execution.
TIFF connects technical production, disciplined management, partner confidence and social value across the Lake Tanganyika aquaculture corridor.
Food access
Local tilapia production can increase availability of affordable, nutritious fish.
Jobs and skills
The model creates work across cages, hatchery, cold chain, sales, records and cooperative services.
Lake stewardship
Monitoring and evidence help protect Lake Tanganyika while reducing pressure on wild fisheries.
Learning loop
Performance data, buyer feedback and environmental safeguards guide responsible scale-up.
