FOOTPRINT
Where TAC's Work Is Taking Root
Transforming Aquaculture and Food Systems, Unlocking the Blue Economy
TAC's work is grounded in Kenya and strengthened through regional and international partnerships that support aquaculture growth, knowledge exchange, market development and investment readiness.
Our footprint reflects the communities, counties, enterprises, institutions and value-chain actors we work with across aquaculture, fisheries, feed systems, processing, youth and women inclusion, market access and blue economy development.
From farmer networks and Beach Management Units in Kenya to knowledge bridges with Norway and regional growth pathways across East Africa, TAC is building an aquaculture ecosystem with both local depth and international reach.
Community and Value Chain Reach
Transforming Aquaculture and Food Systems, Unlocking the Blue Economy
TAC's footprint is not only measured by where we are present. It is also measured by the people and systems being strengthened. Across our ecosystem, TAC has supported:
- Farmers and producer groups
- Fish farmer cooperatives
- Fisherfolk and Beach Management Units
- Women involved in fish handling, processing and value addition
- Youth, students and emerging aquaculture professionals
- MSMEs across the aquaculture and blue economy value chain
- Schools and institutions introducing fish into food systems
- Partners working across research, finance, production, processing and market access
This reach reflects TAC's wider role as an ecosystem builder, connecting communities to the support structures needed for aquaculture to grow.
TAC Norway and International Partnerships
Transforming Aquaculture and Food Systems, Unlocking the Blue Economy
TAC's footprint extends beyond local operations through TAC Norway and international partnerships that strengthen knowledge exchange, technical capacity, investor confidence and market-facing aquaculture development.
The TAC Kenya–TAC Norway link creates a bridge between African aquaculture implementation and Nordic seafood knowledge, technology exposure, institutional collaboration and investment networks. Through this connection, TAC has strengthened its ecosystem through exchange, learning and partnership-building with actors linked to Norway and the wider international aquaculture space.
This international dimension supports TAC's work in areas such as:
- Knowledge exchange and technical exposure
- Aquaculture training and capacity building
- Seafood-sector learning and best practice
- Research and academic collaboration
- Partnership development
- Investment readiness
- Regional aquaculture growth
TAC's international partnerships do not replace local implementation. They strengthen it by bringing in knowledge, credibility, technical relationships and wider market confidence.
East African Growth Pathways
Transforming Aquaculture and Food Systems, Unlocking the Blue Economy
TAC's work is rooted in Kenya, but the aquaculture opportunity is regional. Through strategic partnerships, knowledge exchange and market development conversations, TAC is building pathways that can support aquaculture growth across East Africa. Our regional outlook includes opportunities in:
- Tanzania
- Uganda
- Rwanda
- Burundi
- Wider East African aquaculture markets
This regional direction is important because fish demand, feed systems, farmer support, processing and market access are not limited to one country. Aquaculture growth requires connected systems that can move knowledge, inputs, products, partnerships and investment across borders.
From farmers and BMUs to hatcheries, processing facilities, schools, youth programmes, market actors and international partnerships, TAC's footprint shows an ecosystem taking shape. Our goal is not only to reach more places — it is to build stronger systems in every place we work, while using regional and international partnerships to strengthen the quality, credibility and scale of aquaculture development.
