Abstract

In Gambia, as in many other countries, fishing is predominantly men’s work. Women are engaged in postharvest activities (smoking, drying and marketing). They encounter several problems in this work, such as the lack of access to credit. These problems, combined with the fact that women also have to manage their heavy household responsibilities, make it difficult for women to improve their business prospects.
