Actionaid Ghana (AAG), a global justice fed­eration working to achieve social justice, gender equality and poverty eradication, has launched a project aimed to build resilience of rural communities in the Upper West and Savannah Regions against the impact of the current climate crisis on lives and livelihoods.

The €1m project christened: 'Strengthening Community Resil­ience through Community Action Plans (CAPs),' aimed to execute 140 sub-projects in 110 communi­ties in nine selected districts in the two regions.

It sought to improve access to water resources and irrigation infrastructure, and enhance affor­estation and soil health in targeted communities in eight districts in the Upper West Region and one district in the Savannah Region.

They are Wa Municipal, Wa East, Wa West, Nadowli-Kaleo, Lawra, Jirapa, Sissala East and Sissala West districts in the Upper West Region and the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba district in the Savannah Region.
