Rural Finance and Investment Insights: July 2023
Note from the editor
Join us on September 25, 2023, for a significant event that delves into the occupational hazards and risk coverage faced by women in the fisheries and aquaculture industries. Organized by the CAFI SSF Network in collaboration with GAFS, this webinar aims to shed light on the vital yet often unaddressed challenges and risks that women encounter as integral contributors to these sectors.
Highlighting the importance of tailored support, the event emphasizes the need for women-centric resilience products from the insurance industry, providing essential safety nets for women engaged in fisheries and aquaculture activities. Our expert panels, featuring representatives from fisher-folk organizations, insurance experts, and Microinsurance Service Providers, will engage in discussions surrounding the specific hazards and risks faced by women in these fields.
