| Innovation Title | A framework for assessing and building adaptive capacity to climate change in small-scale fisheries communities |
| Innovation description | We developed an analytical framework comprised of five dimensions that allows analysts to identify obstacles and options for building capacities to adapt and to innovate. The research applies and examines the framework in coastal fishing communities. The 'agency' dimension of the framework is informed by earlier WorldFish-led research on gender and agency. |
