This is a trade union policy for realisation of decent work in the fisheries sector of Ghana. It emerged out of a participatory process within the Trades Union Congress (Ghana) – hereafter the TUC (Ghana) – and its affiliates that organise workers in the fisheries and maritime sectors: the National Union of Seamen, Ports and Allied Workers (NUSPAW), the Maritime and Dockworkers Union (MDU) and the General Agricultural Workers Union (GAWU). The development of this policy also involved consultations with key stakeholders in the fisheries sector, including the Fisheries Commission, the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA), and the Ghana Industrial Trawlers Association (GITA). The Ghana Tuna Association (GTA), the Ghana National Canoe Fishermen Council (GNCFC), the National Union of Teamsters and General Workers (NUTEG) of Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), and the Labour Department also participated in the formulation of this policy. The involvements of these stakeholders enabled broad consensus on the policy objectives and strategic actions for achievement of decent work in the fisheries sector of Ghana. The rational, key objectives, and strategic actions of this policy draw on trade union mission and values, national policy and legal frameworks, and international development protocols and conventions. These include target 7 of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 – hereafter SDG 8.7 –, the decent work framework of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and the National Policy for Management of the Marine Fisheries Sector. The policy is also underpinned by the national strategy against child labour and human trafficking in fisheries, the tripartite declaration of principles on multinational enterprises and social policy (MNE Declaration), and trade union values and aspirations.
