Over 60,000 transhumant animals, 2,000 herders entered Ghana from Sahel – Research

The findings also identified 17 major transhumance corridors connecting northern Ghana to neighbouring Burkina Faso, with the majority of the entry routes located in the Sissala East, Sissala West and Lambussie areas of the Upper West Region before extending towards interior districts of the Upper East Region.

The research was part of the Transhumance Tracking Tool (TTT) project, implemented in the Upper East and Upper West Regions by CLIP in partnership with IOM and funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He said transhumance patterns varied between the two regions, with the Upper East experiencing its highest inflows between February and May, while the Upper West recorded comparatively higher inflows between June and November.
