Methodology
Sampling Selection of divisions (purposive) Selection of districts (purposive) Selection of upazilas (random proportional to population size) Selection of villages The farmers were the basis for the linked sampling approach. The sample size for the farmer survey was determined based on budget availability and power, so there is sufficient power to detect a meaningful difference in a given sample size or to confidently observe an anticipated effect. With a sample size of 600 observations, it is possible, for example, to detect a change in yields of 10% among the survey population with a confidence level of 90%. The sample size for the market actor survey flowed from this and depended on the number of markets sold to by sampled farmers

Abstract

This data presents a value chain study with an integrated gender lens of the aquaculture sector in Rajshahi and Rangpur in northwestern Bangladesh. The study forms part of the contextual knowledge foundation for the IDEA project, which works in all 16 districts of Rangpur and Rajshahi divisions. Its ultimate goal is to reach 1 million households for its aquaculture production outcomes and 2 million households for the nutrition outcomes. The aim of the value chain study was to generate a knowledge base for designing project interventions. These focus specifically on inclusive aquaculture value chains that are both more productive and contribute to poverty reduction, and in which women and youths can be equitably included and benefit in safe and dignified manners. A market study and an empowerment study (using WEAI) was also conducted but never analyzed for the report.
