    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities Blue Ventures develops transformative approaches for catalysing and sustaining locally led marine conservation.

    We work in places where the ocean is vital to local cultures and economies, and are committed to protecting marine biodiversity in ways that benefit coastal people.


    Summary project description:

    We are currently recruiting a consultant to support our partners in developing and implementing improved value addition measures for key fisheries.

    Reporting to the Regional Partner Support Coordinator, this is a remote consultancy based in Kenya, with regular travel to field sites.

    This work will focus on identifying potential marine resource value chains (e.g., mangrove products, octopus, shellfish, lobster, and sardines) that are relevant and offer opportunities to the communities our partners work with.

    This work will involve the viability assessment, mapping, and selection of value chains, the identification of stakeholders, the implementation of value chain roadmaps, with a particular focus on the role and empowerment of women in these value chains, the identification of revenue collection opportunities for management linked to the identified value chains, and training and monitoring on correct and regular documentation of income and expenditure.

    The primary means to achieve better returns on fishing within the strategy is reducing postharvest losses.

    These losses could be physical, quality, nutritional, or market, and achieving improvements for smallscale fishers across these categories implies developing communitysupported fisheries, maintaining product quality, and increasing value chain transparency through datadriven livelihood upgrades.

    By reducing postharvest losses, aquatic foods harvested by smallscale fishers will continue to produce accessible, affordable, and nutritious foods.
