2. Improved Coastal Governance at the District and Coastal Settlement Scale

The central aim of this component is to explore and test ways to strengthen the governance of shore areas and coastal resources at the District and coastal community level, working in a variety of geographic settings on a range of issues important in the Western Region. The approach engages stakeholders and brings policy through a cycle that proceeds from issue identification, to analysis and plan formulation, culminates in formal adoption and proceeds on to implementation and review. The limited time frame of the Hen Mpoano project requires focusing on steps 1 through 3 of the policy cycle issue identification, plan preparation and adoption. Activities are aimed at identifying and addressing specific immediate issues facing shore areas and resource users of particular concern and selecting approaches that are applicable in all coastal districts. The major emphasis for ICM activities for landscape management as the three focal areas advance, will involve developing conservation management planning for the priority fisheries habitat areas mangroves and other wetlands, lagoons and river estuaries and “areas of concern” where detailed planning and management is most needed that addresses maintaining essential ecosystem services and functions as both land transformation and climate change evolve. These applications of ICM practices will also identify, at the scale of the three Districts, prime sites for tourism as well as areas most vulnerable to erosion and the impacts of climate change. Within the “areas of concern”, improvements in infrastructure in support of fisheries landing sites, cleaning and sorting catches, cold storage, ice and basic services sanitation, potable water, waste disposal are also required. Such community level planning and decision making complements and acts upon important features of fisheries reforms called for by the GOGWorld Bank project. The landscape activities carried out in Year 2 in the focal areas of Shama District, Cape 3 Points in Ahanta West, and the Amansuri Wetlands shared by Jomoro and Ellembelle were aimed specifically at: ｸ Building capacity and commitment for fresh approaches to coastal landscape issues at three focal sites through efforts that will be sustained throughout Phase 2 ｸ Strengthening the capacity of district level planners and their respective Assemblies to address land use issues and steer the development process towards desired outcomes ｸ Engagement in cross-district coordination and learning through the semi-annual meetings of Component 1 These latter components demonstrate clearly the crossover and convergence between fisheriesseascape and landscape governance that are inescapable when viewed at the scale of landing sites or fishing villages. In Years 3 and 4 an increasing emphasis on community-lead bottom up development of governance systems will naturally see this cross-over develop. The high level of poverty and vulnerability amongst fishers and coastal communities means that any reform to rebuild fishing stocks must consider livelihoods and wellbeing at the community level. This in turn, is integrally linked to ecosystem services and land use. In Years 3 and 4, H ｈn Mpoano will pilot diagnosis and engagement at the household, livelihood and community organization level as an entry point to actions that promote community resilience, wellbeing and 38
