Mainstreaming adaptation into Ghana’s national development plans
SEI assisted Ghana’s Environmental Protection Authority and its climate change focal point to develop a plan for climate change adaptation and mitigation. The project sought to strengthen Ghana’s Poverty Reduction Strategy by incorporating consideration of climate change impacts. SEI provided training on planning techniques, including a novel approach to multi-sector planning that was developed by SEI and Ghana EPA staff.
