44 can move in parliament. We will provide behind the scenes support to government
counterparts in MOFAD and FC to make compelling arguments to these political leaders about the benefits to be gained from legislative reforms and to speak publically about the
accomplishments in the fisheries sector resulting from project activities.
• Make presentations to Parliamentary select committee on Agriculture and Fisheries on
Annual basis either directly via project staff, encourage NGO partners to testify and via coaching of MOFAD and FC representatives, with permission of Speaker of Parliament.
• Formalize relationships with Advisors to the President, the Hon. Emelia Arthur and
others. Send briefs, request responses and meetings to discuss issues in more depth, and invite them to dialogue sessions.

3.3 Contact Management and Capacity Building
Activity Lead: Mensah
Activity Team: CRC-Accra, Friends of the Nation, Hen Mpoano, SNV, CRC-URI
3.3.1 Compilation of contact management database
The CRC-Accra Communications Officer will systematically mine and analyze the extensive contact lists of the former ICFG project partners along with TraiNet data and other sources to
create a contact database for use in targeted communications. The project will examine options for contact management software such as the open source CiviCRM,
which will enable the project to record, manage and track interactions with people and organizations and to engage
with constituents. The database information will be stored in one place that could be accessed remotely.

3.3.2 Social network analysis for baseline
The initial database of contact information will be analyzed using social network methods CRC- URI as a baseline for mapping the SFMP policy network and monitoring the evolution of the
social capital formed by the project. [COM015]
3.3.3 Establishment of project knowledge document collection and partner policies for sharing
The SFMP will utilize partner websites and knowledge-sharing platforms to distribute project generated information as well as DECS and other collaboration platforms such as Frame and
others preferred by USAIDGhana.
3.3.4 SFMP Photo Bank
SFMP will create a photo bank starting with a compilation of photographs taken under the ICFG. All partners will collect geo-referenced and clearly described and dated pictures during field trips
to be housed at a central point in Accra
Partners will coordinate their contacts with participating individuals and organizations; allowing for “opting-in” to receive and send communications using a variety of media and identify
individuals who are well-placed to bring in under-represented stakeholder groups and opinions. To measure behavior change, the ME and Learning strategy will assemble impact baselines in
Year 1 and conduct periodic appraisals on child labor, outreach, and legal awareness.

IR 4: Applied Management: Improved Management of Marine Resources to Reduce Over-exploitation, to conserve Biodiversity and Provide Other Benefits
SFMP will work at three ecosystem scales of management for three types of fisheries stocks. Priority in the first two years will be on the small pelagic fisheries, with a demersal fisheries and
marine spatial plan in the WR linked to community-based estuarine management plans in following years. Integrated community resilience and marine biodiversity conservation actions
will be implemented. The nested approach to design and implementation will enable a synchronized and mutually reinforcing flow of information across national, regional, district and
local levels.
Key outcomes and results expected over LoP as described in the Program Description include the following:
• Four fisheries management plans developed andor adopted and implemented at different ecosystem scales national small pelagics plan, Western Region Demersal Plan,
Community based plans for the Pra and Ankobra estuarinemangrove systems • Approximately 13,000 people, a majority of whom are women, benefiting from
diversified livelihoods, access to micro-credit, adoption of more profitable fish smokers and product value additions
• Several fishing communities more resilient to climate impacts • Capacity of more than a dozen district authorities to promote and support resilient
community policies and initiatives.
