The implementation of the Research for Development and Innovation Agriculture and Learning (ReDIAL) project has contributed to a significant reduction in nomadic herdsmen and farmers conflict in parts of the country.
Scores of people have lost their lives as result of farmer-herder conflicts especially in parts of the country Nkawkaw and Ejura over the past few years.
Speaking on the sidelines of a ReDIAL Project Close-out Workshop on the theme, "Transforming Ghana's Agriculture through Innovation and Stakeholder Collaboration", in Accra, Daniel Kofi Abu, Project Manager at Tropenbos said the project has been extremely beneficial. "This conflict has been with us for ages. And usually, it stems from the fact that, there are a lot of nomads (fulani) who are coming from neighboring countries to Ghana during the season.
And so for us as a project, we identify this as a very big issue to resolve." ''And so, one of the critical things that the project did was to engineers through a consultative process to see how best we can together address this issue.
