Fishing collectives in Homa Bay and Migori counties are vital social and economic institutions. Yet challenges remain for maximizing profits, managing leadership disputes and adopting climate-smart innovations at scale. We worked with fishing groups to understand how both women and men benefit from collective action. Our study also revealed important lessons in how to conduct respectful and effective field research in fishing communities. This blog shares our insights.
