Dekpor community appeals for revival of fish pond to boost local economy
Dekpor community has appealed for revival of a defunct fish pond project to boost the local economy in Dekpor-Horme in the Ketu North Municipality.
Mr. Douglas Senyaglo, Chairman of the Dekpor-Horme Youth Association, said that the facility, when operational, would serve not only the community but also neighboring areas within and outside the municipality, contributing significantly to fish production and local economic growth. He noted that the collapse of the project had left many young people unemployed, thereby worsening joblessness and slowing economic activity in the community. Mr. Senyaglo said, "The fish pond was a lifeline for many families and young people in this community. Its collapse has had a significant impact on livelihoods."
Mr. Senyaglo expressed optimism that with the right investment and technical support, the facility could be restored to full operation to boost fish production, create sustainable jobs and support socio-economic development in Dekpor-Horme and surrounding communities. The Youth Association believes that reviving the project would not only improve livelihoods but also position the area as an emerging aquaculture hub in the region.
