Abstract

Specifically, the study assessed 1) the effect of WorldFish interventions on gender-equal access and
control over resources, technology, and information among smallholder farmers, including
productivity, and food security, 2) the effect of WorldFish projects on climate resilience among
smallholder fish farmers, and 3) the impact of WorldFish projects on gender equality and women’s
empowerment in aquaculture. To achieve the third (impact) objective, the evaluation tested the
hypotheses that the two WorldFish projects have 1) enhanced involvement of women in aquaculture,
2) enhanced gender equality in access and control over resources, technology and/or information on
aquaculture, 3) enhanced gender equality in climate resilient practices (knowledge and adoption of
CSA aquaculture practices), 4) enhanced women’s empowerment, and 5) enhanced gender equality in
terms of benefits from the food system. The study compared results from fish farmers in districts
where the WordFish projects were implemented (treatment districts) with fish farmers in districts
without WorldFish projects (control districts). Also, it included small and medium size business
owners supported in the treatment districts through WorldFish interventions (called hatchery and
feed operators).
