The USAID-SFMP COVID Intervention is a COVID-19 response activity being implemented across over 300 landing beaches including fish processing sites and fish markets in about 180 fishing communities along the entire coast of Ghana.
Key objectives of the intervention to have fisherfolk at 300 landing sites, processing and/or fish markets sites better adhere to official COVID-19 disease prevention protocols, ensure that two thousand extremely vulnerable fisheries-dependent households avoid extreme poverty during the pandemic, provide Government of Ghana with evidence on approaches for effective livelihood assistance to fishing communities affected by COVID-19.
