RAINS has worked on climate and biodiversity issues since 2004 as the climate in Northern Ghana has become more discordant and extreme weather events more common. Seasons are no longer predictable and spreading environmental degradation is negatively affecting people’s livelihoods. While our efforts over the years are modest, we have built our knowledge and experience of working with farmer’s groups to mitigate the effects of climate change on their farming. Also we have become more aware of land issues and the need for support to people to help them protect their lands rather than see it grabbed by outsiders. We are working to integrate this natural resource work effectively with our other programs considering the fact that women and children are heavily impacted by the effects of climate change e.g. both are responsible for collecting water and fuel for household use and the distances they need to travel to collect them are increasing.
