This film provides a short overview of irrigation as an adaptation strategy for the Upper West Region (UWR) of Ghana. Irrigation, particularly in the dry season, can help local smallholder farmers to grow vegetables and other crops for their own consumption and for sale on the local market, making them more resilient to climate change.
It is based on the results of the “Climate Risk Analysis for Identifying and Weighing Adaptation Strategies for the Agricultural Sectors – A Study at District Level in the Upper West Region in Northern Ghana”. The study was conducted by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
This film was produced by Barbara van Rijn from BvR Producties in cooperation with Francis Jarawura from the University of Development Studies (UDS) in Wa, Ghana, the Ghanaian Ministry of Food and Agricultura (MoFA) and the GIZ project Resilience Against Climate Change (REACH).
