Abstract

The project identifies and evaluates interventions to improve livelihood security and gender relations through post-harvest fish value chain innovations: first by targeting the processing node in the value chain to reduce losses and improve the quality of fish being processed; second, by piloting women-sensitive technologies that help decrease time and labor burdens of women; and third, through design and testing of social change interventions that highlight gendered roles and power relations in the value chain, and in particular within the processing node.
