ABALOBI is an African based and fisher driven social enterprise with global reach, achieving equitable, sustainable and climate smart small-scale fisheries, powered by ICTs that enable inclusive, human rights-based, and integrated fisheries governance from ‘hook to cook’. Our services include a fully traceable marketplace for seafood with a ’story’, fisher-to-fisher mentoring, system-hosting, digital financial inclusion services, data-driven and transdisciplinary science, Safety-at-Sea, Climate Change adaptation, capacity building and partnership driven support programmes. Uptake of the technology happens through the co-design process, and a grassroots but global advocacy movement by fishers using ABALOBI. We want to develop sustainable fisheries using transformative processes, innovative technology, value chain upgrading, supported by a traditional fishers’ knowledge base.
