ENRRI-EfD Ghana on 8th September 2020 paid a courtesy call on Ghana’s Former President Jerry John Rawlings at his office in Accra. Led by the Director, Prof Wisdom Akpalu, the three-member team from ENRRI discussed a range of issues with the former president, in particular, fisheries management in Ghana.
The courtesy call, organized at the instance of the former president, was inspired by ENRRI’s findings on Ghana’s fisheries sector, findings that were disseminated at a recent seminar and widely reported by the media.
With our deep understanding of the importance of research-to-policy interfaces in supporting evidence-based policy, ENRRI was pleased by the opportunity to meet and hold pertinent discussions with the former president, a key policy influencer with a long-standing commitment to the fisheries sector, and sustainable development.
