BEO works with communities to identify opportunities to improve earnings from existing resources and skills. This may include better fish drying and smoking methods, improved handling and storage, value addition, collective selling and stronger links with buyers. The priority is to help local enterprises retain more value, reduce avoidable losses and respond to market demand without relying on ever-increasing catches.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dc0f9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6dc0f9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<hr class=\"e-divider-base\" data-interaction-id=\"849f385\" \/>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2877fd1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2877fd1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96e97cb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"96e97cb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8d5179 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d8d5179\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Build enterprises that fit local conditions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-951d954 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"951d954\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sustainable livelihoods look different from one community to another.

BEO seeks to help community enterprises strengthen basic financial management, understand production costs, organise supply, improve product quality and build relationships with buyers, financial institutions and other business partners. We also consider how enterprises use water, energy and natural resources, so that income growth does not undermine the ecosystems on which future opportunities depend. Success means stronger local businesses, more resilient household incomes and economic activities that can endure while aquatic ecosystems remain
