DFM Cambodia is the first team to have completed its scoping research.

More than 20 participants from all three Indian research teams attended a scoping training workshop at the Hotel Daspalla Executive Court in Visakhaptatnam from December 9-11, 2019. The meeting was very productive in terms of generating constructive discussion about scoping methods and in terms of team building. As with the Cox’s Bazar meeting in February, the workshop was organized with two days of methods discussions sandwiching a middle field day.
This past quarter we marked the beginning of the Dried Fish Matters (DFM) Scoping Research phase, with a four-day workshop in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh held from February 20 to 25.
Attended by leaders of the DFM country and sub-country research teams, the workshop succeeded in its goals of creating synergies and building shared research approaches across our research teams in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Thailand.

Dried Fish Matters
For many of the most vulnerable peoples of the South and Southeast Asia region, dried fish is of vital nutritional, economic, social, and cultural importance. Despite this, the diverse and complex economy that produces and distributes dried fish, and the threats to it, are all but invisible in research and policy. The Dried Fish Matters project, based at the University of Manitoba in Canada, brings an interdisciplinary team to address this major oversight.
