Our mission is to reduce poverty and hunger by improving fisheries and aquaculture. We began in 1977 as the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) based in the Philippines. In 2000 we shortened our name to The WorldFish Center and established our new headquarters in Penang, Malaysia. We’re an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization working in partnership with a wide range of government and non-governmental agencies at regional, national and local levels in the developing world, and with advanced research institutions worldwide. We have 250 staff members, including 50 Ph.D. scientists based in 10 offices in 8 countries across Asia, Africa and the Pacific. From these bases, we work in more than 25 countries with more than 200 partners representing 50 countries. We currently have regional or country offices in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Egypt, Malawi, Malaysia (HQ), Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Zambia. We are one of 15 centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), a group of farsighted and caring investors worldwide including governments, development banks, philanthropic organizations and development institutions.
