<![CDATA[This community service activity is designed to increase the socio-economic capacity of women fishermen through a participatory and local needs-based approach. The training method involves identification of needs, technical workshops on value-added fish processing, micro-business management training, digital and local-based marketing strategies, as well as group simulations, role plays, and reflective discussions to strengthen cooperation and communication. A collaborative approach is applied by involving village officials, fisheries extension workers, community leaders, and academics to build social networks, solidarity, and group independence. The results of the training show an improvement in technical skills, managerial knowledge, and collective awareness of the importance of cooperation and planned independent business management. The establishment of democratic, transparent, and local social structure-based group institutions increases the efficiency, productivity, and income of fishermen's households. Recommendations include program integration in village development planning, capital support and production facilities, business administration and management coaching, and the use of digital technology for marketing. This activity shows that strengthening social roles through cross-actor collaboration can be a model for empowering women fishers who are sustainable, adaptive, and competitive in coastal communities.]]>
