This report aims to identify gaps in the available data on the social and economic opportunities and constraints for women in the fisheries sector in Solomon Islands in order to inform policy directions and future investments in the sector. It examines women’s involvement in two supply chains in the fisheries sector of Solomon Islands – tuna fisheries and coastal fisheries – and recommends next steps for improving the information and data to better address the inclusion of women in fisheries to enhance the social benefits and outcomes from this sector. Women make up a large proportion of the workforce in tuna and coastal fisheries supply chains, however there is little or no data available to measure the extent of their engagement. As a result, many initiatives including training, awareness programs, and policies are not gender-informed and as such overlook the needs of women engaged formally and informally in the fisheries sector. However, as this report finds, women have a high potential to improve the sustainable management of coastal fisheries in Solomon Islands, both in their own fisheries and aquaculture activities and in supporting men’s activities.
