INTRODUCTION
In September 2004, KADETFU signed an agreement for partnership with CORDAID of The Netherlands to undertake the project entitled “Economic Empowerment of Smallholder Fishers and Farmers through Alleviating Pollution of Lake Victoria Watersâ€.

On the way to attain the final goal, the project is still on the same track as afore planned.
