The lockdown period restricted the movement of fishers and farmers
Madam Patricia Blankson Akakpo, Programme Manager, Network for Women’s Rights in Ghana (NETRIGHT) has said the COVID-19 has impacted the country’s food systems.
She said even though there were challenges, it has also created opportunities, which stakeholders have adopted to stay afloat.
Madam Akakpo speaking at the stakeholders meeting said it was also to know how policies and programmes were mitigating these impacts.
The meeting organised by NETRIGHT and Institute of Africa Studies sought to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the livelihoods of fishers and farmers including any coping strategies that have been adopted during the pandemic.
