A framework for linking poverty to policy Output from the PHFRP-Project R8111 “Poverty and post-harvest fish utilisation in Ghana” IMM Ltd, UK, March 2004 Introduction This framework document outlines a set of relationships which link poverty to policy in the fisheries post-harvest sector. It is designed as a guide for policy makers and field practitioners to show the importance of the fisheries post-harvest sector, what linkages exist between poverty and policy in the sector, and why such linkages are important. The framework document is designed to be useful at the national, regional and global levels by informing policy makers about how better to understand the post-harvest sector within a country and how poverty in the post-harvest sector relates to the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and other policy instruments. It introduces two field tools that have been designed to help improve our understanding of the relationship between poverty and the post-harvest sector at national and local levels and use that information to inform policy. The tools are the Post Harvest Fisheries Overview Manual (FishPHOM) and the Post Harvest Livelihoods Analysis Tool (PHLAT) This framework document is based mainly on work carried out under a project called “Poverty and Post Harvest Fish Utilisation in Ghana” (Project R8111). The research was funded by the UK government’s Department for International Development (DFID) through its Post-Harvest Fisheries Research Programme (PHFRP) and was implemented in partnership with the Government of Ghana. The framework also builds on work that has been implemented specifically in India and Cambodia and more generally from a wide range of experience throughout the world.
