Abstract

This article examines the effectiveness of the Entrepreneur Course offered by the Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia (LKIM) to the Terengganu Women Fishermen's Group (KUNITA). The course's goal is to help members of the KUNITA become more knowledgeable and proficient. The courses were organised as an initiative to raise the standard of living for fishermen's communities by enhancing the capacity of women fishermen as economic actors who can provide additional income for their families. 114 KUNITA members participated in this study, which sought to determine the performance level of the entrepreneur course organised by LKIM.
