The report describes critical issues vis a vis integrating gender concerns in development activities in the fisheries sector. One central focus of the workshop was to identify strategies to enhance the role of women in fisheries and aquaculture development, keeping in mind the fact that women are socio-economically differentiated and face constraints while accessing and controlling resources. The proceedings contain case studies from Ivory Coast, Zambia, Kenya, Nigeria, Lake Tanganyika, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Malawi and Lake Kivu.
