It includes information on changes in perceptions of quality of life and the condition of the fishery, household wealth, household hunger, dietary diversity of women of reproductive age, perceptions regarding awareness and compliance with fishing regulations, empowerment of women within the industry, and aspects of child labor and trafficking. While the project was not expected to impact all these measures over life of project, such as overall quality of life or household wealth, such indicators were tracked as an overall trend analysis of the fishery.

In May-July 2015, SSG Advisors conducted a Rapid Partnership Appraisal (RPA) in the Greater Accra, Central and Western Regions of Ghana in order to identify high-value public-private partnership opportunities for Ghana SFMP. Through the RPA, SSG aimed to identify partnership opportunities with companies and other key stakeholders in Ghana, to leverage additional resources for the sustainable development of the country’s fisheries sector. As part of the RPA, SSG conducted over 70 interviews with multinational and Ghanaian companies, business associations, development projects, Non-Governmental Agencies (NGOs) and government institutions to better understand the interests and challenges of potential partners vis-à-vis SFMP objectives, and to begin to formulate possible partnership opportunities. SSG also interviewed each of the SFMP implementing partner organizations, to better understand project goals, vision, and priorities.

The initial phase of SFMP concentrates primarily on rebuilding the small-pelagic fishery stocks through efforts and activities on the local, regional and national levels. Therefore, this initial communications strategy concerns itself with activities, publications, documents, messaging, audiences, events, etc. that have a direct impact on this priority fisheries objective.
