Authors/Editors: Madina M. Guloba (PhD) ,  Tony Odokonyero

Abstract:

This factsheet is a highlight of value chain and industrial linkages in fisheries, and associated job creation opportunities. The fisheries sub-sector employs 1.7 million people directly, and over 3.5 million people indirectly. Therefore, over 5 million jobs12 are created by the sub-sector (Figure 1). With enhanced production and productivity, and increased value addition, the sector could provide more employment creation opportunities.
