End Review of the Fish for Development Programme in Ghana End Review Final Report

This end review (2019–2025) assesses the Fish for Development programme in Ghana, focusing on institutional cooperation in fisheries and aquaculture. Using OECD-DAC criteria, mixed methods (document and financial review, key informant interviews, and validation workshop) were applied to evaluate outputs, outcomes and sustainability. The review finds substantial progress on policy, data systems, capacity building and regulatory reforms, with notable achievements in the MFMP, national aquaculture plan and biosecurity outputs, while higher-level outcomes remain emerging. Recommendations include continued funding to consolidate gains, improved funding arrangements, strengthened governance and enhanced monitoring and reporting.
