Job Description

  • Project Name: Feed the Future Ghana Fisheries Recovery Activity
Background
On May 26, 2021, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded  Tetra Tech the Feed the Future Ghana Fisheries Recovery Activity (GFRA), a 5-year $17.88 million contract to mitigate the near collapse of Ghana’s small pelagic fisheries sector and establish a durable basis for its ecological recovery.
 
To fulfill this purpose, a balanced and strategic approach will be implemented that reduces fishing overcapacity and increases controlled access over Ghana’s small pelagic fisheries sector to encourage ecological sustainability while also enhancing socio-economic well-being and local resilience of artisanal fisherfolk and their communities. GFRA’s five interdependent strategic approaches are:
  • Strategic Approach 1: Align fisheries capacity with ecological carrying capacity of the small pelagic fisheries while enhancing the socio-economic well-being and resilience of artisanal fisherfolk.
  • Strategic Approach 2: Increase the quality and value of artisanal fish products to maintain household income and enhance availability of nutritious foods for local and regional markets.
  • Strategic Approach 3: Strengthen transparency, accountability, and co management in governance practices for fisheries policymaking, regulation, and enforcement.
  • Strategic Approach 4: Strengthen constituencies to promote and implement sustainable fisheries management.
  • Strategic Approach 5: Improve use of science and research for policy and management decisions.
GFRA Strategic Approach 3 partly aims at strengthening the capacity of key constituencies including the National Fisheries Association of Ghana (NAFAG) as a key mouthpiece for the recognition of views and opinions of fishers and fishing businesses in policy planning and decision making. NAFAG is made up of the Ghana Tuna Association (GTA), Ghana Industrial Trawlers Association (GITA), Ghana Inshore Fisheries Association (GIFA), Ghana National Canoe Fishermen Council (GNCFC) and the National Inland Canoe Fishermen Council (NICFC).
