Women's Empowerment and Climate Justice: Three fish preservation, handling and processing interventions improving livelihoods in Kenya’s Lake Victoria region

Lake Victoria – the second largest lake in the world – supports around 200,000 fishers in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, with more than 50 million people depending on it directly or indirectly for their livelihoods. But with fish being a highly perishable product, fishing communities have little time to either preserve, eat or sell their catches before they spoil – usually little more than two days. It results in unnecessary waste and a loss of food and income.
