On International Youth Day, WorldFish will be hosting a Fish4Thought event,
bringing together policymakers, researchers, donors, and stakeholders in
public and private sectors and civil society to launch a new strategic
brief by CGIAR’S Research Program on Fish (FISH CRP) on ‘Youth in
small-scale fisheries and aquaculture.
<https://worldfishcenter.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2008cf65a0e14eb21385a7e20&id=a2a1c5adf3&e=86cf9c0f9a>
’
In this virtual learning session, the authors will highlight the brief's
key recommendations and outcomes. They will build on the current
understanding of youth’s livelihood opportunities and challenges and
explore how these conditions can affect youth's meaningful engagement in
small-scale fisheries and aquaculture.
The research presentation will be followed by a panel discussion,
contributing to the ongoing dialogue on impactful policies, investments,
and opportunities to improve youth participation in aquatic food systems.
The panel will share insights on moving forward with better data and
further research to provide decent and meaningful livelihood outcomes for
young people in low-and- middle-income countries.
