Ensuring participation and representation of women in the blue economy is a driving force for the economic development of the continent in all sectors. This was the prominent key message coming out from the Women in the Blue Economy Workshop that took place from 16-17 June 2022 in Abuja, the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Participants at the workshop exchanged views on the African Union Blue Economy Strategy and ensuring women’s empowerment in the fisheries development sector. The workshop also reflected on possible ways of financing women’s participation in the blue economy.
