Abstract

The Ghana National Canoe Fishermen Council (GNCFC) was formed in 1982 with the objective of promoting the welfare of canoe fishermen. Since then, it has grown to become an umbrella body of fishers and fishery associations in Ghana. The leadership structure comprises district and regional executives and a national executive committee, which forms the governing body of the council. As of 2020, GNCF had over 100,000 members made up of fishers, chief fishermen, konkonhema (queen fishmongers) and canoe and gear owners.
