Abstract

Lake Victoria is the largest freshwater lake in Africa and the second largest in the world, covering approximately 68,800 square kilometers. It is spread across three countries: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The lake contains many fish species and generates substantial income opportunities, food, employment and foreign exchange. Some four million of the 40 million people that live and work in the lake basin derive their livelihood directly from the lake.
