Food systems stakeholders in Ghana have endorsed a new climate tool by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), stating it will sharpen agricultural adaptation and investment decisions across the country. The endorsement came during a recent stakeholder meeting in Accra, as confirmed by AGRA's communications team.
The Climate Vulnerability Assessment (CVA) tool is designed to help farmers, policymakers, and investors identify climate risks and opportunities in Ghana's agricultural sector. AGRA officials noted that the tool uses historical weather data and future climate projections to provide localized recommendations.
According to AGRA, the CVA tool has been tested in several pilot districts in Ghana, with early results showing improved crop planning and resource allocation. The tool is part of AGRA's broader strategy to build climate resilience in African food systems.
Stakeholders, including representatives from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, farmer cooperatives, and agribusinesses, praised the tool for its user-friendly interface and actionable insights. They emphasized the need for widespread training to ensure effective adoption.
AGRA plans to roll out the CVA tool across additional regions in Ghana by the end of 2026, pending funding and partnership support. The organization is also exploring integration with mobile platforms to reach smallholder farmers.
