National Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Security Action Plan of Ghana (2016-2020)

This policy document – National Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Security Action Plan – is produced on the conviction that climate-smart agricultural practices, the bedrock of food security should be deliberately programmed in Ghana.

The National Climate Change Policy provides a broad framework for formulating specific strategies to address local climate change challenges. This Action Plan therefore is an effort to translate to the ground level the broad national goals and objectives in climate-smart agriculture. A policy document such as this cannot derive solely from the National Climate Change Policy. A key step in preparing this document was the review of the relevant existing policy documents for direction and inputs. In the review, every effort was made to distil the essence of the various policy documents and factor these into the design of contents of the National Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Security Action Plan.
