4.8 Central and Western Region Fishing Community Livelihood Development Value
Chain and Post-harvest Improvements
Activity Lead: Kankam
Activity Team: Daasgift, CEWEFIA, DAA, SNV
This work will be carried out under supervision of SFMP Field Activities Mgr. Stephen Kankam.
4.8.1 Post Harvesting Processing Knowledge Development, Dissemination and Consensus Building
SNV will work in collaboration with local implementing clients CEWEFIA, DAASGIFT to take stock of existing knowledge on post-harvest processing in Ghana and obtain missing data,
information and knowledge. This activity will be closely coordinated with WARPFFC post- harvest unit.
SNV will conduct a detailed literature review on existing post-harvesting processing in Ghana and internationally with a special focus on different and improved fish smoking stoves, but also
including fish storage, fish handling, traceability from nets to table and Healthy Fish processing.
Local implementing clients will help identify knowledge gaps, and a plan will be developed to close these knowledge gaps. The knowledge gaps will include information on the efficiency of
different fish smoking stoves, such as the Chorkor, Morrison, GEWAB, and FTT fish smoking stoves, but may include others. Although less prevalent in Ghana. Other post harvesting
processing technologies will also be studied through process characterizations and additional means.
The knowledge gathered by SNV, local implementing clients and others would be shared in a Post Harvesting Processing Knowledge Sharing Workshop.
