Why do we need more women in leadership?
"We need more leaders with high emotional intelligence. Leaders with the ability to recognise emotions in themselves and others and relate are desperately needed. This essential leadership behaviour comes more naturally to women than men. Empowering women to assume leadership roles should be a priority"

Happy International Women's Day.
Inger- Faye (Inga) Wilson is a 28-year-old licensed fisherfolk, vendor and entrepreneur, and leader of the Paggee Fisherfolk group in St. Mary, Jamaica. She is currently in the process of creating and registering a fisherfolk cooperative that will benefit the fishing village and surrounding communities by providing opportunities for women and men. With passion and enthusiasm for the fishing industry, Inga has developed an incentive to provide discounts to fisherfolk and farmers at Cabarita Pop-up Shop, own and operated by her. She believes that with proper resources in place and some enthusiasm, the fishing industry can thrive to its full potential. #IWD2021

The Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts, Fisheries and Co-operatives extends heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and staff of former Fisheries Officer and former President of the Boxing Association of Grenada, Johnson St. Louis, who passed away on March 01, 2021.
May the memories of him bring comfort and joy to you during this difficult time.
UWI-CERMES hosted two Gender and Leadership Group Discussions with fisherfolk organisation leaders on 24 and 25 February 2021 as part of the FAO-implemented StewardFish project.
The sessions, one for women leaders and one for men, aimed to learn how gender, youth and leadership intersect in the fisheries sector. Discussions focused on gender relations, gender needs and interests, and gender roles in the fishery sector.
Over 80 fisherfolk leaders from Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines have provided insight into existing gaps in leadership capacity of women, men and youth. The information collected in these discussions and previous gender analysis activities will be used to develop training for fisherfolk organisation leaders.
These trainings will be hosted by the #CNFO virtual leadership institute. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
