Project proposal:
This project has been extended and completion is expected by May 2024. Its aim is to understand the constraints in the downstream marine fisheries sector and post-harvest challenges faced by women fish traders in Majengo, Kenya, and to train them in the required fish handling and value-addition processing techniques to prevent post-harvest losses. A majority of women fish traders live in informal establishments where they continue to experience high poverty levels and lack access to technical value-addition training required to accrue maximum benefits from fish handling and processing activities.
