Abstract

What a difference four freezers, 60 scales and 20 iceboxes can make. The equipment, bought through FAO’s TeleFood Special Fund, has enabled two women’s groups in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, to freeze fish so they can be transported in the intense heat of West Africa. The women, who earn their living by reselling fish they buy from a wholesaler, had approached a bank for credit so they could buy the equipment. But the bank asked for guarantees they could not provide. The TeleFood Fund decided to give them a chance.
