Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
Sample survey data [ssd]
Individuals, Households, Focus Groups
The individual-level survey uses a semi-structured survey instrument that includes: Profile of their household's characteristics - Participation in fisheries activities (individual and household) - Fisheries assets owned - Roles in household decision-making around fish-related activities - Experience with food insecurity (Food Insecurity Experience Scale- FIES) -Dietary Diversity (Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women - MDD-W) and fish consumption practices - Post-harvest processing procedures - Participation in fisheries governance and organizations - Gender attitudes about work and decision-making in fisheries and the household.
The focus group discussion survey instrument covered the following topics: - Diet, foods eaten - Activities in SSF - Gender-based discrimination - Empowerment and voice in decision-making - Changes in gender relations over time - Access to assets through facilities at landing and marketing sites - Female-led organizations - Capacity building received or areas felt to be important.
The key informant interview uses a semi-structured survey instrument that includes: - Profile of the respondent's position and knowledge of gender issues and policy in fisheries - Assessment of local diet and food access issues - Roles in household decision-making around fish-related activities - Access to productive assets in fishing - Access to fisheries extensions services - Post-harvest processing procedures - Women's fisheries organizations - The respondent's personal gender attitudes about work and decision-making in fisheries and the household.
National coverage of coastal areas of high importance to fisheries, including both inland and marine fisheries (where relevant) and both major and minor water bodies. A sample of coastal regions or districts that met these criteria and represented the diversity of fisheries in the country was chosen (non-random sample).
Individual/Household level: Women who work in small-scale fishing value chains (harvest, post-harvest processing or trade).
Focus groups: Women who work in small-scale fisheries.
Individuals (with policy-level influence in the small-scale fishing sector): Policy-level actors in the fishing sector. This includes government and non-governmental personnel working in fisheries, environment, or gender and development themes that impact fishing communities.

Individual/household level: - Sample size: 300 individuals per country - Selection process: Surveys were conducted as intercept surveys at fish landing sites, markets and within fishing communities. - Stratification: By district and landing site. The target number of surveys per country (300) was divided by the number of landing sites chosen for the study.
Focus groups: - Non-random sample of women chosen opportunistically (based on availability) to participate in a small group, focus group discussions. Typically 2 focus group discussions were held in each district or region where data collection occurred for the larger, baseline assessment of the project. Individuals (with policy-level influence in the small-scale fishing sector):
Survey sampling for key informant interviews was purposive, selecting individuals who were known to be knowledgeable about relevant policy issues impacting fishing communities that were of interest to the project (e.g., nutrition, gender issues, leadership, decision-making). These individuals were identified based on the expert knowledge of the National Project Coordinator with input from the government and influential local leaders. Approximately 10 key informants were surveyed per country, with 1-3 individuals interviewed per district/region.
At the organizational level, the individual groups selected for the survey were not chosen randomly, instead, they were chosen for interviews based on their availability at the time of data collection and ease of contact.
