The initiative focused on equipping cooperative members with practical skills, tools, and knowledge to minimize spoilage, improve food safety, and increase income opportunities through better post-harvest management. All activities were delivered using participatory, practical, and field-based training approaches to ensure strong knowledge retention and immediate application, contributing to improved post-harvest management, enhanced fish quality, and increased resilience of fisheries cooperatives in Jubaland.
