Konjiehi community receives year-round irrigation system to curb galamsey and irregular migration

The Konjiehi community in the Wa Municipality has received a fenced community garden and a modern drip irrigation system to promote year-round farming and provide sustainable livelihood opportunities aimed at reducing illegal mining (galamsey) and irregular migration.

The intervention seeks to strengthen the economic resilience of farming communities by enabling all-year agricultural production, improving food security and reducing the economic pressures that often drive young people into illegal mining activities or risky migration.

The project was implemented by Community Aid for Rural Development (CARD) Ghana in partnership with the Wa Municipal Assembly.
