Descripción
The project ‘Empowering women in fisheries for sustainable food systems’ is being January 2020–December 2022, with the aim of supporting small-scale fishers, especially women, to increase their participation in the whole value chain thereby increasing their incomes from fishing, fish processing by using energy-saving or climate-smart technologies, and from trading. The project is being implemented in three districts in Malawi i.e. Karonga, Salima and Mangochi. The project objectives are: to raise awareness through knowledge products and outreach, among government and relevant stakeholders, of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines), their principles and provisions, and how to apply these; and also to empower stakeholders through capacity development and institutional strengthening. This project is funded by Norad and is being implemented by FAO and the Government of Malawi through the Ministry of Forestry and Natural Resources’ Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture.
