University of Cape Coast

Centre for Coastal Management

The overall goal is to improve the sustainable management of Ghana’s marine and coastal resources. The objective is to strengthen capacity for sustainable fisheries and coastal resources management. USAID’s technical and financial support is designed to strengthen UCC's capacity in developing and providing quality and relevant education programs, practical research and advisory services that will support the management of fisheries and coastal resources on a sustainable basis to enhance the nation's social and economic development. This capacity building program is aimed to facilitate individual and organizational learning which builds social capital and trust, develops knowledge, skills and attitudes and when successful creates an organizational culture and a set of capabilities which will enable the university to set objectives, achieve results, solve problems, and create adaptive procedures which enable them to support national development.
