About AquaMIS
AquaMIS is an app designed by Business Summit Africa for managing aquaculture data in Uganda. It uses a set questionnaire to gather information from fish farmers across the country. Developed with support from MAAIF and funding from the European Union, AquaMIS aims to improve how data is collected and managed in the aquaculture sector. The app allows enumerators to conduct surveys directly with farmers, categorized into different types like fish traders and hatchery operators. This information helps in better understanding and supporting Uganda’s aquaculture industry, divided into regions and districts for comprehensive data collection and management.
