The fisheries sector remains a vital pillar of Ghana’s economy, contributing approximately 4.5% to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and generating an estimated $1 billion annually. It sustains the livelihoods of over 2.5 million people through direct and indirect employment.

CERATH Development Organization (CDO) is actively empowering fishing communities through a holistic approach that integrates socio-economic enhancement with climate resilience. This intervention seeks to improve the well-being of fisherfolk by addressing critical challenges such as declining fish stocks, illegal fishing practices, health risks associated with fish processing, and limited access to social protection. Through targeted programs and community engagement, CDO is committed to fostering sustainable fisheries and resilient coastal livelihoods.
