Abstract
This project profile describes the objectives and methodology of the project which will bring solar drying tents to the fishing communities of Malawi. The research team will adapt and test solar fish-drying tents to reduce losses and develop new business models for fish processors. To promote adoption of the solar dryers, researchers will work with different actors in the fish value chain to create a sustainable business model. At the community level, low-income men, women, and young people who have traditionally struggled to access good quality processing facilities, will use the solar dryers.
