ProjectSupport the Sustainable Production and Marketing of Fish and Vegetable Products for Urban/Peri-Urban Women - TCP/GAM/3801 2024

No results found.The Gambia has an estimated population of 1.9 million, of which women constitute 51 percent. About 50 percent of the population lives in rural areas. The country is classified as a Least Developed Country, has an open economy with limited natural resources and was ranked 173 out of 188 in the United Nations’ Human Development Report, 2020. The fisheries subsector contributes around 3.4 percent to the gross domestic product (GDP), with an estimated 200 000 people directly or indirectly dependent on fisheries and related activities for their livelihoods. Fishing is generally carried out by men, while women dominate such post-harvest activities as fish landing, processing, marketing and distribution. It is estimated that 80 percent of fish processors and 50 percent of small-scale fish traders are women. The artisanal (or small-scale) fisheries subsector is believed to make a greater contribution to livelihoods and the economy than the industrial and aquaculture subsectors. Despite this, low market access and high post-harvest losses caused by fish spoilage are pervasive, while some post-harvest practices, such as fish smoking, can be detrimental to the environment and toxic for both producers and consumers. Fish smoking techniques consume large quantities of firewood and contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases. In addition, the use of inappropriate alternative fuel such as cardboard introduces toxic substances to smoked products, as well as exposing operators to health risks. -
