Ghana: Communicating climate information to vulnerable rural communities and local government institutions

Meteo Service expects no floods in Northern Ghana

Mr Romanu Gyang, programme Manager of the Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP) of Ghana, advised farmers to value the local beliefs and observe the signs so that together with scientific forecast they could plan what crops to sow and suitable time so as to avoid floods or dry spells, reports GBN.

According to the report, Mr Gyang explained that the two day participatory scenario planning (PSP) meeting was an approach of communicating climate information to vulnerable rural communities and local government institutions, as it creates a platform for district stakeholders and rural farmers to learn from the Ghana Meteorological Services (GMET) the seasonal forecast for the year.
