In the dry landscapes of Northern Ghana, restoring degraded land has become increasingly challenging. Years of declining soil fertility and erratic rainfall have made it difficult for farmers to establish and sustain planted trees. For many communities, the challenge is not only about planting trees, but also about finding the right seedlings to start with. Without access to quality planting materials or the knowledge to raise them, many restoration efforts have fallen short.

We are supporting farmers with climate-smart agricultural practices, access to savings, markets, and technologies that help them adapt to changing weather conditions. The programme has reached nearly 10,000 farmers in Lamwo and Adjumani districts, including both refugees and members of host communities.

Beyond improved yields, farmers also say they have adopted climate-smart agriculture practices, including monitoring rainfall patterns and using the data to guide planting decisions. The approach, they say, has reduced losses caused by unpredictable weather.
