Abstract

This phase of the project builds on a market approach by drawing on expertise of the financial services industry to expand fisheries and aquaculture farms in the Bolivian Amazon. Entrepreneurs, mostly women, will receive training in business planning, management, and marketing, as well as access to financial products specifically geared toward women. Researchers have found that what works is to provide family-based businesses with access to technical assistance—better hygiene and handling practices for example, along with financial services, and supportive legal frameworks.
