This document aims to shed light on the diverse contributions of women to small-scale fisheries, emphasizing their direct influence on the economic landscape, dietary diversity, nutritional intake, and household food security in Madagascar. It supports the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (hereafter referred to as the Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines), to which Madagascar is a signatory , and which were adopted by the FAO Committee on Fisheries in 2014 (FAO, 2015). The analytical framework is based on the methodology outlined in the study Illuminating Hidden Harvests (IHH): The Contribution of Small-Scale Fisheries to Sustainable Development, developed collaboratively by FAO, Duke University, and the WorldFish Center. This initiative, which encompassed around 50 country case studies –including Madagascar – aims to generate and share new information on small-scale fisheries to guide policy decisions and practices (FAO et al., 2023 ; Basurto et al., 2025).By identifying constraints that limit women’s participation in small-scale fishery value chains, this document aims to provide recommendations and strategies to the Government to enhance women’s empowerment and resilience to economic challenges, shocks, and climate change impacts.
