CERATH Development Organisation, implementers of the Power to the Fishers Project (PTF), has trained 3,215 fisherfolk in Ghana on technology adoption, fish handling, and enterprise development.
The Organization has, also through the project, facilitated social protection coverage for 2,864 community members.
Dr Lucille Abruquah, the Country Director for CERATH Development Organization, said the project was also supporting five graduate students of the Centre for Coastal Management at the University of Cape Coast towards research in project thematic areas.
Dr Abruquah made this known during the Year three Learning Workshop in Accra.
The workshop aims to raise awareness of the PTF project among strategic sector partners, as well as to provide a forum for the dissemination of findings from research on premix administration and delivery.
It is also to serve as a platform for the project team to share accomplishments made with the Village Savings and Loans Association (VSLA).
The project is a four-year fisheries management intervention, which commenced in 2019 and funded by the European Union.
The overall objective of the project is to enhance the socio-economic livelihoods of fishing communities within selected districts of the coastal savannah zones of Ghana.
