Job Description

Project Name: Feed the Future Ghana Fisheries Recovery Activity

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

On May 26, 2021, the United States Agency for International Development Ghana (USAID/Ghana) awarded Tetra Tech the Feed the Future Ghana Fisheries Recovery Activity (GFRA), a 5-year contract to mitigate the near collapse of Ghana’s small pelagic fisheries sector and establish a durable basis for its ecological recovery. GFRA supports a balanced and strategic approach to reduce fishing overcapacity and increase controlled access over Ghana’s small pelagic fisheries sector to encourage ecological sustainability while also enhancing food security of artisanal fisherfolk and their communities. GFRA works in sites across Ghana's four coastal regions - Western, Central, Greater Accra and Volta, and targets five interdependent strategic approaches. The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development (MOFAD) and Fisheries Commission (FC) are core partners.

One of GFRA’s priorities is to engender equity in Ghana’s Fisheries. Through its partnership with state and non-state actors it implements actions towards strengthening women’s constituencies and their stake in promoting sustainable fisheries management; and addressing local vulnerabilities to Gender Based Violence and Child Labor and Trafficking in fisheries.

In 2019, MOFAD signed off the Fisheries Sector Gender Strategy and Anti-Child Labour and Trafficking Strategy with the goal of promoting equity in fisheries management. A review of the strategies has become imperative to reflect current context. Additionally, a practice guide is required to provide the framework for Fisheries Sector Policy Makers and Implementers to integrate Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI). The tool kit is expected to support implementation of the two strategies. The primary audience for the tool kit is FC and MOFAD staff and civil society organizations in the sector.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this assignment is for the Consultant to review and update the Fisheries Sector Gender Strategy and Anti-Child Labor and Trafficking Strategy; and develop a How-To Tool Kit for GESI integration in fisheries.
