Poverty within the fisheries: indicators, causes and interventions. Draft 2

The study is prompted by the poverty that has persisted among the fishing communities of Lake Victoria at a time of considerable cash inflow into the fisheries from the development of the fish processing industry. There has been need for an understanding of the poverty and what strategies would be most appropriate for its reduction. This study has attempted to respond to the need by identifying the nature and distribution of the poverty within the fisheries of Lake Victoria, Uganda, the factors responsible for it and the options for poverty reduction intervention
