V2V THEMATIC WEBINAR SERIES 2026

The livelihoods of many coastal small-scale fisheries communities in Ghana have been threatened by overfishing, environmental degradation, pollution, and climate change. Among the key fishing communities that have been heavily affected by these threats are Anlo Beach and Ankobra. Having recognized that these communities are vulnerable, it is critical to mobilize adequate knowledge about their vulnerabilities and explore possible ways through which they can make progress towards being viable and resilient. This talk will therefore highlight the vulnerable state of two fishing communities in Ghana and how these communities can become viable. It will also focus on the specific factors that have contributed remarkably to the vulnerability of these two communities, as well as provide possible pathways through which they can transition into a state of viability. Most importantly, the talk will provide a deeper understanding of the V2V transition concept using the findings from the two fishing communities in Ghana.
