U.S. Supports Ghana In Developing Anti–Child Labour And Trafficking Strategy

The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development (MOFAD) and the U.S. Government through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), held a signing ceremony for the fisheries sector’s new Anti-Child Labor and Trafficking Strategy.

The strategy outlines the Ministry’s plans to reduce and eventually eliminate child labor and trafficking in the fisheries sector.

The USAID Sustainable Fisheries Management Project collaborated with MOFAD to develop a national strategy to help eradicate child labour and trafficking in Ghanaian fishing communities.

Coordinated through the MOFAD Marine Fisheries Division, the consultative process also included participation and support from Ghana’s Ministry of Gender, Child, and Social Protection.
