No results found.Ghana has a vast area of inland waters amounting to more than 1 million ha that will continue to be a much more important source of fish than can be supplied by fish farming for the foreseeable future. The estimated potential is about 65,000 t. In order to reach even 20% (13,000 t) of this by fish farming, a total pond surface of 3,250 ha yielding 4000 kg/ha/y would be required. This compares with a present operational pond surface of 209 ha and a yield estimated at about 300 t. Clearly, the man agement and further development of inland fisheries will continue to be an important objective along side the acceleration of the expansion of aquaculture. At present the amount of surface area in which CBF is best justified is relatively small and consists mainly of artificial water bodies in the northern part of the country where stocking and species enhancements can make an important impact on food security, income and employment in an area that is less well off than the rest of the country . Even in the northern part of the country it appears that many of the water bodies which are the potential targets of CBF are self-replenishing and are thus of low priority for stocking. Therefore, encouragement of fishing in water bodies not already fished and promotion of year around fishing in those only fished once per year is a higher priority than stocking. -

Book (stand-alone)Investment framework for mobilization of resources into Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) in Ghana 2018
Also available in:
No results found.The investment framework was developed to support Ghana in the area of resource mobilization using climate smart agriculture (CSA) as an entry point. As a first step it covers nine selected districts but could be used by adjoining districts as agro ecological considerations were taken into account. The methodology that was used in selection of districts and other instruments used for data collection, generation and analyses are presented as well. For each of the districts the report begins with a summary results per district which could be taken as the executive summary. The district profile is presented which captures information on the district capital, location and land area. The physical and natural environment which highlights the topography and some natural resources that the district is endowed with is mentioned. This also includes the rainfall distribution as well as temperature variations within the year. The demographic characteristics which features the estimated population according to recently held national census provides information on the socio-cultural analysis of households as well as their income sources. Information on the identified value chain commodities and the number of farmers engaged in them are presented also. In addition, the socio-cultural and financial indicators underpinning each identified crop and livestock value chain are discussed. An assessment of the various value chain segments and associated gender characterization are presented. A key aspect is the CSA practices identified and the gender consideration in the choice and use and use of various practices. Each prioritized crop and livestock value chain was matched with the system of CSA practice undertaken as well as the participatory decisions based on the prioritized value chain. The district reports end with a conclusion on the main points. A general conclusion is presented on the whole study with some recommendations.
