Gender round tables

Empowering Women in Sustainable Aquaculture in the Lake Victoria Basin

VicInAqua partners organised round tables in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda with women fisheries associations/networks, fish farmers active in hatchery and fish cultivation, fisheries and aquaculture associations, aquaculture research organisations and local and regional government representatives responsible for fisheries and aquaculture aspects.

With the aim of fostering gender equality and better integration of women in aquaculture activities, the participants discussed the current situation of women in sustainable aquaculture and ways to improve their involvement.
