Climate smart aquatic food projection opportunities and inclusive market development for economic growth and poverty reduction

Abstract

The MYMarket project focuses on increasing food production by smallholders and strengthening existing market systems within the sector, especially greater participation among women and youths, with a special focus on financial inclusion. The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, political unrest and climate change has severely impacted access to quality inputs needed for food production, as well as for subsequent marketing and access by the most vulnerable. These inputs include credit, information, seed, fertilizer, feed and business management training.
