Climate risk mitigation project implemented in northern Ghana

The Ghana Agricultural Insurance Pool (GAIP) and its partners have rolled out a unique insurance product for farmers in the northern part of the country to help them mitigate the negative impacts of climate change.

Dr Kwabahson, who doubles as the Acting General Manager of the Ghana Agricultural Insurance Pool, said the product was a critical risk mitigation tool to help farmers adapt to the adverse effects of climate change.

The GII climate risk mitigation intervention is designed to protect smallholder farmers against poor seed germination caused by insufficient or excessive rainfall during the critical early planting period.
