Agreement Date:

Description:
The project aims to support the Government of Ghana in its short-term recovery efforts from the extended drought spell while building capacity for medium to long term resilience efforts against climate shocks. The project supports a widescale assessment of the extended dry spell and its impact on poor and vulnerable households in the Upper East region of Ghana. The project builds local capacity for planning, implementing, monitoring, and assessing the impacts of crisis response initiatives and integrating lessons learned to inform sustainability and future responses to similar crisis. Project support may include experimentation and would contribute to an evidence-based approach on findings related to the extended dry spell, drawing on the insights and experiences of beneficiaries, including farmers, pastoralists, decentralized government agencies, and private sector actors along the agriculture value chain. This project presents an opportunity to gather real-time information on the extended dry spell to rapidly respond to its consequential effects on the livelihoods and productivity of the farmers. The project also supports farmers with capacity building and agricultural inputs to enhance food security and livestock production while building resilience to the effects of climate change.
