Climate Resilient Communities and Decent Work

Climate Resilient Communities and Decent Work

Supporting sustainable livelihoods and resilient local economies

Songtaba strengthens climate resilience and promotes decent work by empowering smallholder farmers, women and youth with skills, resources and knowledge to improve their livelihoods. Agriculture remains essential to Ghana’s economy, yet climate change, inconsistent growth and limited economic opportunities affect farmers and communities.

The agriculture sector has fluctuated over the years, with growth falling below national GDP growth in multiple periods. Although the sector once led Ghana’s economy, it now ranks third after services and industry.
