SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION The Focus of the Sustainable Fisheries Management Project (SFMP) on Child Labor and Trafficking (CLaT) is to contribute to reduce CLaT practices in the Central Region fisheries communities through prevention interventions. The emphasis of SFMP is to work with stakeholders and strengthen them to combat CLaT activities. SFMP is also implementing behaviour-change communications campaign in an effort to make CLaT practices socially unacceptable in coastal communities of the Central Region. SFMP is working with policy makers and key actors at the National, Regional and coastal Districts and community level stakeholders to ensure that all key actors along the policy formulation and implementation chain are actively participating in combating CLaT. Under the auspices of SFMP, Friends of the Nation (FoN) has been working with the ten (10) Coastal District Assemblies in the Central Region of Ghana since October 2014. In Year 3, FoN assisted the Assemblies to incorporate aspects of the National Fisheries Child Labour Policy into their Medium Term Development Plans (MTDPs 2018-2021). This contributed to Ghana as a nation demonstrating at local government level, the commitment and resources to contribute to combating ClaT and human trafficking. Such commitment was a major requirement for improving Ghana’s ranking on the US Department of State Trafficking in Persons (TIP) global report (where Ghana was place on Tier Two Watch list for two consecutive period). In Year 4, FoN worked with selected agencies to socialize the content of the National Fisheries Child Labour Policy with the District Assemblies Child Protection Committees (DCPCs) in the ten (10) coastal Districts of the Central Region of Ghana. FoN organized series of workshops to strengthen the capacity of the DCPCs to implement components of the National Fisheries Child Labour Policy contained in their MTDP 2018-2021. This report shares the objectives, content and key outputs of the Fisheries Child Labor Policy Socialization Workshops organized by FoN.

1.1 Fisheries Child Labor Policy Socialization Workshops From October 2017 to August 2018, FoN organized series of workshops to socialize the National Fisheries Child Labor Policy with the DCPCs from the ten (10) coastal Districts of the Central Region of Ghana. The objective of the workshops was to strengthen the capacity of the DCPCs, District Assemblies and institutions to develop and implement anti-CLaT plans and strategies in their various jurisdictions in line with the National Fisheries Child Labour Policy. 1.2 Participants for the Socialization Workshops In all a total of 391 (101 Female and 290 Males) participants benefited from six (6) separate socialization workshops that were organized (see Table 1 below for detail number of participants). Participants for the workshops included the members of the Child Protection Committees (DCPCs) from the respective Districts and other participants included District Coordinating Directors, Planning Officers, Finance Officers and Budget Officers. Participants were drawn from the following ten (10) coastal Districts of the Central Region of Ghana. 1. Awutu-Senya East Municipal (Kasoa), 2. Awutu-Senya District (Awutu), 3.

1.3 Detailed Workshop Sessions A participatory approach was adopted for the workshops, interactive power point presentations were used to share information on CLaT with simple charts, pictures and materials to ensure that participants appreciated the sessions. In general, the workshops had the following sessions. Opening Session: This session was used to prepare participants to understand the purpose of the workshop, also key official from the Collaborative institutions made statements on background of CLaT and what their institutions were doing to combat the practices. Information Sharing Sessions: at this session power point presentations were made to share the contents of the following documents;  Findings of FoN’s survey on “drivers of CLaT in the coastal fishing areas of the Central Region. The National Fisheries and CLaT Policy.  The Child Labor Act 652 (1998)  Human Trafficking Act (2005)  Other relevant Ghanaian laws that make legal provisions against CLaT were also used for references. Open forum: This session provided the platform for participants to discuss the presentations made, participants were allowed to aske question, seek clarification on CLaT issues. At the open forum discussions were done in the plenary to promote sharing of ideas, lessons, challenges and successes.

Action Planning sessions: In the action planning session participants were grouped in their respective district and made to work together to general District anti-CLaT plans. The plan developed by each district were presented at the plenary where participants were allowed to make input to refine the plans. (see Appendix 1 for detail District Plans) Six (6) separate socialization workshops that were organized, the last workshop was held over 2 days on 29th and 30th August, 2018.

SECTION 2: FORMAL CLOSURE OF CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES FoN organized the final workshop at Cape-Coast to climax the series of capacity enhancement activities of the District Child Protection Committees (DCPCs). The workshop was held on 29th and 30th August, 2018 and brought together representative from the ten (10) coastal District Assemblies and their DCPCs. The workshop aimed at improving the capacity of the DCPCs to function effectively in addressing issues of CLaT in fisheries in their localities. The workshop was used to fine-tune the anti-CLaT actions in the respective Medium-Term Development Plans (MTDPs 2018-2021) and annual Action Plans of the Assemblies A participatory approached was used involving presentations in plenary; followed by discussions and group work, and reporting back and discussion in plenary. Day Two of the workshop was graced by Traditional Leaders, and with the media participating, was addressed by Central Regional Minister (Hon. Mr. Kwamena Duncan). The Hon. Minister mooted the idea of a “Marshall Plan” to holistically address issues of Coastal and Fisheries Management which he alluded to have become an albatross in the Central Region.

Figure 5. Regional Minister addresses the workshop (right), The members of the high table attentively listening to the Reg. Minister (left) Dr. Abdulai Dramani, the Acting Director of Institute of Local Government Studies (ILGS, Accra) facilitated the two-day workshop. At the 2-day workshop each Assembly fine-tuned the anti-CLaT actions in their respective MTDPs and presented the final Action plan to stakeholders. (See Appendix 1. For the final action plans) At the final workshop, participants also developed and issued a communique to government to seriously tackle issues of Child Labour and Trafficking (CLaT) and address the root causes.

SECTION 3: RECOMMENDATIONS  The Regional Minister for Central Region, Honourable Mr. Kwamena Duncan recommended that a ‘Marshall Plan’ be drawn and implemented to address the root causes of CLaT in fisheries and the coastal areas.  Participants recommended that government should seriously implement poverty reduction programs in the coastal-fishing areas including diversified livelihood interventions for coastal communities.  Participants also recommended the urgent need for enforcement and compliance of the Fisheries Laws to curtail illegalities that is contributing to the decline of the fishing livelihoods.  They also recommended that perpetrators of CLaT should be made to face the law to serve as deterrent for other would-be criminals; and the MMDAs and agencies must commit adequate resources to combat CLaT at the local level. SECTION 4: KEY OUTPUT OF THE SOCIALIZATION WORKSHOPS At all the workshops, participants were taken through the Anti-Child Labor and Trafficking in Fisheries Policy as well as findings of a survey conducted by FoN in 2015 on “drivers of CLaT in the coastal fishing areas of the Central Region. This increased participant’s awareness of the content of the National Fisheries and CLaT Policy. Participants were also sensitized on the Child Labor Act 652 (1998) and Human Trafficking Act (2005) and other relevant Ghanaian laws that make legal provisions against CLaT. The workshops were also used to identify stakeholders’ roles and this helped participants to appreciate the need for institutional collaborate to combat the criminality of CLaT and human rights abuse of children. The workshop therefore, provided a platform for inter-agency, institutional and stakeholder collaboration in combating CLaT in Central Region. The workshop sessions were used to promote joint planning among the ten districts especially key officials from each of the districts including; the Chiefs Executives, Planning Officers, Finance officers, Budget officers and Coordinating Directors, etc were brought together to discuss regional coordination of anti-CLaT interventions. Also present at the workshop were the fisher folks leaders from the National Fish Processors and Traders’ Association (NAFPTA) and the Ghana National Canoe Fishermen’s Council (GNCFC). This fostered networking and relations-building amongst the agencies and institutions since stakeholders come from different backgrounds and have different though overlapping interests. The workshops also created the platform to assist the Assemblies to develop implementation plans for anti-CLaT programs contained in their MTDPs. Specifically, the workshop was used to;  Create an opportunity for enhancing awareness of anti-CLaT activities within the District  Support the identification of key anti-CLaT issues within the District for actions  Help the District to plan and make budgetary provisions from internal financial sources for Anti-CLaT actions.  Guide the District Assemblies to develop livelihood interventions in their respective areas.  Guide the District Assemblies to design and implement programmes to address the root cause of CLaT. The participants at the workshops identified Economics & Livelihoods intervention areas that would be jointly implemented across the ten (10) coastal Districts to contribute to address the root causes of CLaT. These common intervention areas included the following:

 Public Awareness and Advocacy  Health, Welfare and Social Protection  Education, Training and Capacity building  Social Development, Decent work and Reintegration  Governance, Legislation and Enforcement. Specific crosscutting strategies were also identified by the participants to combat ClaT practices in the Districts. The strategies included  Preventive Strategies: organize Sensitization, education and awareness creation activities including Community durbars, Traditional leader’s engagement workshops, Religious workshops (church, mosque, traditional festivals etc.).  Behaviour Change Communication Strategies: Share information on CLaT through, Information materials, newspaper publications, media engagement (press conferences, press releases, etc), organized Radio and TV Programs,  Rescue Strategies: Conduct withdrawal/Rescue of victims, Rehabilitation and Integration of victims with their families, etc.  Law enforcement Strategies: Conduct investigation, arrest, Prosecution and Conviction of offenders  Policy Actions Strategies: Conduct policy review, engage with policy makers, etc. At the final workshop held on 29th and 30th August, 2018, participants expressed that the workshops have enhanced the capacities of the DCPCs for the implementation of components of the National Fisheries Child Labour Policy capture in the respective MTDPs 2018-2021. (Please refer to Appendix 1 for the detail plan of anti-CLaT action and Economics & Livelihoods intervention Plans).  .
