Abstract

Our cost-sharing protocol for the establishment of the Village Model Farms and associated hatcheries proved successful. Establishing fish hatcheries through a microcredit scheme proved to be highly successful, as they became profitable within the time period, and paid back the borrowed funds in full. This bodes well for future plans for scaling up, incorporating microfinance and enhanced financial and marketing training, particularly for women. Gender is an important component of this project as women’s autonomy is linked to maternal and child nutrition and food security outcomes, while women typically have considerably more work than men.
