This initiative focused on:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Use and maintenance of the FAO-Thiaroye Fish Processing Technique (FTT)<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Bookkeeping and financial literacy<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Organizational structure and user fee collection<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Hygiene, sanitation, and fish processing best practices<\/p>\n<p>A key highlight of this program was its emphasis on empowering women in fish processing.
