The purpose of Gender analysis of the fisheries sector in Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is three-fold: to better understand the roles of both men and women in the fisheries sector (coastal fisheries and aquaculture); to support the institutional strengthening of various government agencies and other state-level institutions that are involved in fisheries and marine resources management to mainstream gender across their activities; and to support the implementation of the Pacific European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) programme’s objectives of improving the economic, social and environmental benefits for the 15 Asia, Caribbean and Pacific states in the Pacific Islands region by incorporating a gender and human rights-based approach across all programme activities.
