Evangor Foundation Implements Alternative Livelihood (Aquaculture Option) in Assin North, Atwima Mponua, Adansi South and Kwahu Afram Plains North.

Evangor Foundation has completed community entry and beneficiary verification for the Ghana Landscape Restoration & Small-Scale Mining Project (GLRSSMP) in Assin North—clearing the way to install fish tanks, stock fingerlings, and start hands-on aquaculture training that restores both landscapes and livelihoods. With local authorities engaged and beneficiaries confirmed across multiple communities, we’re set to roll out a practical, income-boosting catfish program backed by strong monitoring and support.

Project at a Glance

  • 49 verified beneficiaries across Ashanti, Central, and Eastern Regions, identified through door-to-door community visits and group verification.
  • Aquaculture package delivered: training in catfish production, tank installation, fingerling stocking, continuous feed supply, and M&E.
  • Implementation funding: GHS 2,717,318.40 to execute activities across three regions.

Where We Worked

  • Ashanti Region: Atwima Mponua (Tano Dumase), Adansi South (Edwinase)
  • Central Region: Assin North (Asempanye, Abotareye)
  • Eastern Region: Kwahu Afram Plains North (Adukrom), Kwahu Afram Plains South (Adawso)
    Verification confirmed active community groups such as Adom Ye, Anointing, Nyame Bekyere, Asomdwe, and Nkrumah Farms, ensuring organized, peer-supported adoption of aquaculture practices.

What Makes This Different

  • Co-designed with local systems: Engagement with the District Directorate of Agriculture in Assin North to validate beneficiaries and align technical support.
  • Rapid, tangible livelihood start-up: From training to tanks and feed, each beneficiary receives the full pathway to first harvest.
  • Restoration with results: Livelihoods are linked to landscape recovery goals under GLRSSMP—turning pressure away from degraded ecosystems while strengthening household incomes.

What’s Next

  • Schedule and deliver practical on-site trainings and tank installations per community.
  • Stock catfish fingerlings and initiate routine feeding and growth monitoring.
  • Track performance with simple, field-friendly M&E to optimize survival rates and time-to-harvest.

Together with our partners and verified beneficiary groups, Evangor Foundation is poised to make aquaculture a reliable alternative livelihood—one tank, one household, one community at a time.
