However, many small-scale fishers are unable to access it because of the cost and complexity. So how is ABALOBI working to overcome this inequality and improving their livelihoods?

"As ABALOBI grew, we had to think about technology and IMM framework that can scale with us. As an app developers, we also have multiple data sources. So, we realized that as we potentially deploy our solution in South Africa, our partners deploy their version in Abu Dhabi and other countries; how do we measure our impact? We want to learn from all the data points to answer complex questions. Sopact is helping us with advisory and technology to reach our goal."
