The move, according to organisers, is another remarkable milestone in advancing sustainable fisheries and empowering local communities.
Also, a key highlight of the programme was the introduction of participants to specialised training in the FAO-Thiaroye technique, a revolutionary, energy-efficient method designed to reduce post-harvest losses and produce high-quality fish products.
This innovation, according to officials, not only improves food safety and product value, but also enhances the sustainability and profitability of fish processing activities, directly benefiting women entrepreneurs and consumers alike.
In addition, the initiative reflects PROREFISH Gambia’s commitment to climate resilience, livelihood improvement, and gender-inclusive development in the fisheries sector.
