Abstract: This document presents a value chain study, through an integrated gender lens, of the aquaculture sector in Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions in northwestern Bangladesh. The study forms a foundational part of the Aquaculture: Increasing Income, Diversifying Diets and Empowering Women in Bangladesh and Nigeria (IDEA) project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and led by WorldFish within the CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH). This project aims to contribute to the transformation of the sector in the divisions toward greater inclusion and performance, leading to enhanced production, nutrition and food security, as well as increases in women’s empowerment.
