FishFirst! Zambia aims to increase quality/quantity of fish benefitting nutrition and food security in
Zambia, especially for women of reproductive age (WRA; ages 15-49 years) and children in the first
1,000 days of life (<2 years). The objectives of FishFirst! Zambia are to:1) Assess current state of
small pelagic fish harvesting, processing, and trading activities from point of catch through processing
to local and distant markets for sale in rural and urban areas; 2) Identify social and gender barriers to
entry and/or participation in these value chain activities for the different actors, particularly women and
youth; 3)Assess how small pelagic fish are accessed by different consumer groups and consumed
within households; 4) Explore potential of upgrading the small pelagic fish value chain via improving
processing, storage, and trading methods to reduce post-harvest losses and improve food
safety;5) Develop and test nutrient-enhanced Complementary Food for Africa + dried fish powder
(ComFA+Fish) products/recipes for enhanced nutrition particularly benefiting WRA and children <2
years in vulnerable households and 6)Explore options to scale the production and dissemination of
the ComFA+Fish products/recipes with private and public sector actors, particularly women and youth
entrepreneurs.
