Abstract	Research on small-scale fisheries has largely focused on men’s fishing practices and perceptions and considerably discounted the important contributions by women to household food security and economies (Harper et al. 2013). Studies in most West African countries confirm that post- harvest activities is gendered in nature and revolves around traditional patterns of obtaining food and long standing gender norms (Lutz and Van Tilburg 2007). Given the centrality of small-scale fisheries as a source of household income in fishing villages such as Makoko, overcoming challenges associated with fisheries related livelihoods is essential to sustainable development.
