Key Points

  • AGRA has developed climate vulnerability maps and a risk analysis toolkit specifically for maize and cassava in Ghana's agriculture sector.
  • These tools are designed to guide climate adaptation interventions, investments, and promote evidence-based planning for climate-smart agriculture.
  • The initiative emphasizes integrating gender-responsive measures into adaptation planning, supported by a brochure and a draft policy brief.
  • The toolkit aims to strengthen responses to climate change and improve climate-smart agriculture planning and investment decisions.
  • AGRA is in discussions with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) to integrate this work into national policy planning and is seeking stakeholder feedback on the policy brief.

Why This Matters

This initiative is critical for Ghana as it provides data-driven tools to enhance the resilience of its vital agriculture sector, particularly for staple crops like maize and cassava, against climate change impacts. By promoting climate-smart practices and integrating gender considerations, it aims to secure food security and livelihoods for vulnerable populations, directly informing national policy and investment decisions.
