Livelihoods Support

This aquaculture project aims to enhance food security, nutrition, and income generation among vulnerable households through sustainable small-scale fish farming. The project targets women, youth, and marginalized community members, providing them with practical skills and resources to establish and manage aquaculture enterprises. The project will support the construction and rehabilitation of fish ponds using locally appropriate and water-efficient methods. Participants will receive hands-on training in pond preparation, water management, fish stocking, feeding practices, disease prevention, and harvesting techniques. Starter inputs, including quality fingerlings and fish feed, will be provided to ensure successful production cycles. To improve economic outcomes, the project will strengthen participants’ capacity in post-harvest handling, basic processing, storage, and marketing of fish products. Nutrition awareness sessions will promote household fish consumption, contributing to improved dietary diversity and protein intake. Environmental sustainability will be emphasized through responsible water use, waste management, and climate-resilient practices. Continuous mentorship and group-based learning will support knowledge retention and peer accountability. Overall, the aquaculture project promotes livelihood diversification, self-reliance, and resilience while addressing food security and nutrition needs within the community.
