When you pilot three different technological innovations and the feedback from participating communities is an enthusiastic plea for “bigger and more”, you must be doing something right.
That’s how it’s been for Rahma Adam, Senior Scientist and Social-Economic Inclusion Impact Lead at WorldFish.
Rahma and her team introduced the solar tent dryers, fish smoking kilns and solar-powered freezers to fishing communities in Kenya’s Lake Victoria region. It’s part of her work under the CGIAR Initiative on Aquatic Foods, Ukama Ustawi: Diversification for Resilient Agribusiness Ecosystems in East and Southern Africa, and CGIAR Gender Impact Platform. All have gone down a storm. “They all want bigger, and more,” she said.
