The goal of the 2009 BMS baseline survey was to understand the context for PHE in the SANAPA area and to inform the design of an integrated PHE intervention. In 2012, the project undertook a follow-up survey to assess the changes in behaviors and attitudes that have come about as a result of the BALANCED Project interventions. Like the 2009 survey, the end-line survey assessed the status of population, socio-economic, health, and environmental conditions in six project villages versus two control villages. This publication documents the results.

US Department of State data indicates that an estimated 600,000 to 820,000 men, women and children are trafficked across international borders yearly, with approximately 50 percent being minors.

read moreThis report is a synthesis of the results of a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) commissioned by the Sustainable Fisheries Management Project (SFMP), in partnership with Development Action Association (DAA) and the women fisher folk at Tsokomey in the Bortianor municipality of the Greater Accra Region. The purpose of the PRA was to assess prospects for development of a community based management plan for oyster harvesting as a sustainable livelihood and food security venture in the Densu River estuary. The Densu Delta was designated as a RAMSAR site in 1992, recognizing it as a protected wetland of international importance under the International Convention on Wetlands. A management plan for the Delta was developed in 1999, but did not make reference to oyster harvesting activities.
