Integrating the fish value chain with digital financial services

Summary

The Mobile Money for the Poor (MM4P) Uganda programme commissioned research on three agro-value chains: coffee, dairy and fish. Uganda has an overall water cover of 18 percent, and has active fishing in the Albert, Edward, George, Kyoga and Victoria lakes; in the Kafu, Nile and Olweny rivers; and in 160 other water bodies. However, this note focuses on research conducted on the fish value chain at seven Lake Kyoga fish landing sites.
