Not recognizing women actors in aquaculture: Does the private sector lose business? (Seeds of Change Conference)

Abstract

Poster on the project to identify the barriers that prevent goods, services and employment opportunities from being offered on an equitable basis to men and women in the aquaculture sector. The idea is not to develop and provide a business model for private companies for gender inclusion, but to facilitate private sector actors to critically examine their own business models in an informed (evidence-based) way through a gender inclusive lens and use that as a basis to develop their own inclusive innovations. The study is being conducted under WorldFish-led, USAID-funded Feed the Future Bangladesh Aquaculture and Nutrition Activity. The goal is to achieve inclusive aquaculture sector growth through a market systems approach.
