Project Characteristics and Results
Gender Focus
More than 50% of the CBO membership are women and the project therefore has a gender focus towards women. Women would also be the direct beneficiaries of the project outcomes because they depend on the exploitation of the mangrove resources for their livelihoods
Notable Community Participation
The project was implemented by a local CBO of the area and involved the active participation of the local community. The membership of the CBO is drawn entirely from the village.
