Objectives and Scope

The TA will complement the investment by building the capacity of 2,700 smallholder fish farmers in India (of which at least 540 are women) for (i) climate resilient farming best practices in aquaculture, adapted to the needs of women and the local context; and (ii) functional financial literacy, including farm budget management, access to credit facilities, and the economics of climate-resilient capital investment. The capacity building will also help boost women's participation in agriculture and accelerate gender equality by improving their financial and technical capabilities. Training materials, and key insights and lessons from the TA will also be provided to government agencies in India.
