Abstract:

Qualitative Datasets of Gendered Aquaculture Value Chain Analysis in Northwestern Bangladesh. This data presents a value chain study with an integrated gender lens of the aquaculture sector in Rajshahi and Rangpur in northwestern Bangladesh. The study forms part of the contextual knowledge foundation for the IDEA project, which works in all 16 districts of the Rangpur and Rajshahi divisions. Its ultimate goal is to reach 1 million households for its aquaculture production outcomes and 2 million households for its nutrition outcomes. The aim of the value chain study was to generate a knowledge base for designing project interventions. These focus specifically on inclusive aquaculture value chains that are both more productive and contribute to poverty reduction, and in which women and youths can be equitably included and benefit in safe and dignified manners. A market study and an empowerment study (using WEAI) were also conducted but never analyzed for the report.

Methodology and Processing

Data Collector:

Afrina Choudhury ( WF )

Sampling Procedure:

A total of 400 people (200 men and 200 women) participated in the focus groups, including 80 youths (40 male and 40 female). The FDGs were led by a team of male and female qualitative researchers and notetakers in four districts (Natore, Rajshahi, Gaibanda and Rangpur) and eight upazilas of Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions. The tools used in the FGDs were livelihoods and aquaculture production systems, decision-making in the value chain, relationship ranking, value chain mapping and youths. These tools are described in the study protocol, which is available upon request. All the data was recorded with permission, then transcribed verbatim and translated. The value chain actor and market data collected during the value chain mapping exercise from the FGDs was then used to follow the different actors and conduct KIIs with farmer identified inputs and service actors, NGOs, government, key experts, producer groups, market actors who buy and sell fish, and also consumers. During the quantitative stage, further KIIs were conducted with arotdars, retailers and consumers from markets that farmers identified during the farmer survey and later from markets identified by the market actors who they further sell to. This led to interviews being conducted all across the country, as fish were sold to different markets all around Bangladesh.
