Ghana
The Feed the Future (FTF) Ghana Policy LINK Activity is a five-year project supporting the Government of Ghana (GoG) and policy actors as they implement evidence-based, inclusive development processes. The GoG is working to consolidate its social and economic advancements, in part by transforming the agriculture and food security system—a focus of “Ghana Beyond Aid” and pivotal to broad-based economic growth.
In October 2022, the Ghana Policy LINK Activity produced a series of policy briefs emerging from a broader climate change assessment. The assessment, which included a literature review as well as inclusive stakeholder consultations through interviews, focus group discussions, and sector workshops in Tamale and Accra, focused on six key areas:
To develop the assessment and subsequent briefs, the Ghana Policy LINK Activity consulted 43 institutions and groups, including USAID and its implementing partners, other development partners, the Government of Ghana, academia, civil society organizations, farmer groups, the private sector, and the media. The briefs will be used to further engage stakeholders, prioritizing transformative actions to achieve a climate resilient future.
