Abstract

EMEDO improves the livelihoods of Tanzanian women in fisheries through enhanced drying racks. In the heart of Magata/Kalutanga Ward, Muleba District, Kagera Region, Tanzania, the women of the Akina Mama na Maendeleo group are rewriting the narrative of small-scale fisheries. Founded in 1998 and officially registered in 2013, this group of twelve women has been at the forefront of the fisheries sector, focusing on the trade and processing of silverfish, commonly known as dagaa. These women are more than just fish processors; they are change-makers, committed to improving not only their own livelihoods but also those of other women in their community.
