Launch of fisheries equipment- Homabay, Kenya
The Lake Victoria fisheries has undergone some of the most intense ecological disturbances ever seen in a big freshwater ecosystem, attributed to both climatic and non-climatic pressures. Migori and Homabay counties are hotspots of community vulnerability to these impacts of climate change with direct impacts on the livelihoods of especially women and youth.
On March 11 2024, World Fish with support from the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform launched fisheries equipment including solar freezers, solar driers, improved smoking kiln processes and glass display boxes to improve shelf life of fish and related products in Homabay County, Kenya. The equipment targets women involved in cooperative societies within the fishing communities who process and sell fish at local markets.
