The European Union committed more than €2 million ($2.2 million) to the implementation of a four-year sustainable fisheries resources development program in Ghana, reports Ghana Business News.
Dubbed 'far ban bo' (protecting fishers’ livelihoods), the program is being implemented by a consortium of NGOs, including Care International, Friends of the Nation (FON) and Oxfam in collaboration with the Fisheries Commission, Fishers Association and Fisheries Alliance.
It started in April this year and will run until 2021.
The aim is to build the capacity of smallholder fishers to improve their livelihoods and to address the challenges of over-fishing and unregulated fishing practices such as illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and law compliance.
