Key stakeholders in Ghana's fisheries sector are discussing the implementation of the International Labour Organisation's Work in Fishing Convention (C.188).
The two-day capacity event focuses on improving safety, welfare, and working conditions for small-scale fishers across the country.
The Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Ms Emelia Arthur emphasised that the welfare of small-scale fishers was crucial for the sector's growth and sustainability.
She acknowledged that the working conditions for many fishers were still poor and needed urgent attention. "Ghana has ratified the ILO C.188, which sets clear standards to ensure decent work for those in the fishing industry," she said.
