Abstract

In support of the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), conceptualized a project focused on promoting gender equality, capacity development throughout fish value chains, and improving nutrition and diets. This project, titled “Empowering women in small-scale fisheries for sustainable food systems”, promoted activities at national and local levels to support SSF women actors in the post-harvest segment in five sub-Saharan Africa countries: Ghana, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and the United Republic of Tanzania.
