Through SIGRA’s first cycle of grants, five partner District Assemblies in the Northern and Volta regions have completed gender-responsive climate adaptation projects reaching 𝟔,𝟗𝟕𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. These include 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫-𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬 in Mion (Sang, Jimli, and DC Kura communities) and Akatsi North (Atanve, Nyitawuta, and Metsrikasa communities); a 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 in Alakope, Amemeliokope, and Tsorgbakope in the Agbledomi area of the Anloga District; 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫-𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 at Wulensi and Nakpanyili in Nanumba South; and a 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 at Kpegu, serving women from Kpegu and neighbouring communities, including Zangbalun-Kukuo and Kprumi, in the Kumbungu District.

The projects are improving access to safe water, enabling dry-season farming for 99 farmers (65 of whom are women)and strengthening incomes across the shea value chain. To support long-term sustainability, each project is now overseen by a trained community management committee responsible for its operation and maintenance.Together, these projects show how local climate plans can deliver real benefits for communities.

Women, girls, persons with disabilities, youth, older persons and other marginalized groups often face different barriers in accessing services, productive resources, climate information, livelihoods and decision-making spaces.
With support from SIGRA, five partner District Assemblies - Mion, Nanumba South, Kumbungu, Anloga and Akatsi North - have developed district-owned GESI Strategies to help make inclusion part of everyday local government planning, budgeting, implementation and monitoring.

These strategies give districts a practical roadmap to identify who is most at risk, strengthen inclusive participation, allocate resources more fairly, and ensure climate adaptation investments respond to the needs of all people.

A GESI Strategy is more than a document. It is a tool for better planning, fairer budgets and climate action that leaves no one behind.

Across Africa, women and girls are leading climate action and strengthening their communities.
On the International Day for Women and Girls of African Descent, we celebrate their leadership, knowledge and lasting contributions.

At Cowater, we are committed to delivering sustainable change that is not only inclusive but also led from within communities. In Ghana, traditional women leaders are advancing climate adaptation through capacity enhancement initiatives under the Strengthening Investments in Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation (SIGRA) project, funded by Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada.

From restoring community water access and protecting dams to promoting climate-smart agriculture and tree planting, Queen Mothers and women leaders are turning training in agroecology and climate planning into practical actions that strengthen local resilience.

Their leadership reflects a broader global reality: women play a critical role in agri-food systems, food security and climate resilience.

Partout en Afrique, les femmes et les filles sont à l'avant-garde de l'action climatique et contribuent à renforcer la résilience de leurs communautés.

À l'occasion de la Journée internationale des femmes et des filles d'ascendance africaine, nous célébrons leur leadership, leur savoir et leurs contributions durables.

Chez Cowater, nous nous engageons à favoriser un changement durable qui soit non seulement inclusif, mais aussi porté par les communautés elles-mêmes. Au Ghana, des dirigeantes traditionnelles font progresser l'adaptation aux changements climatiques grâce à des activités de renforcement des capacités menées dans le cadre du projet Strengthening Investments in Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation (SIGRA), financé par La politique étrangère du Canada – Affaires mondiales Canada.

Qu'il s'agisse de rétablir l'accès à l'eau dans les communautés, de protéger les barrages ou de promouvoir l'agriculture intelligente face au climat et la plantation d'arbres, les Reines Mères et d'autres femmes dirigeantes mettent en pratique les connaissances acquises en agroécologie et en planification de l'adaptation climatique afin de renforcer la résilience locale.

Leur leadership reflète une réalité mondiale plus vaste : les femmes jouent un rôle essentiel dans les systèmes agroalimentaires, la sécurité alimentaire et la résilience climatique.

The Strengthening Investments in Gender-responsive Climate Adaptation (SIGRA) project is ensuring that those most affected by climate change—including persons with disabilities—have the opportunity to share their experiences, influence decisions, and help shape local climate adaptation efforts.
Because climate adaptation is more effective when no one is left behind.

Good planning begins with good data.

To support more inclusive and evidence-based district planning, SIGRA held a capacity-building session in Akatsi North District in the Volta Region on the collection, analysis, reporting and use of s*x, age and gender-disaggregated data.

The session focused on helping district teams move beyond general numbers to better understand who benefits, who may be excluded, and why. Participants discussed how disaggregated data can improve gender-responsive planning, budgeting, implementation and reporting, particularly in relation to climate adaptation and inclusive service delivery.

The training also provided practical guidance on using data to identify the needs of women, men, youth, persons with disabilities and vulnerable groups, and to strengthen decision-making in Annual Action Plans and Composite Budgets.

This forms part of SIGRA’s ongoing support to partner districts, with similar sessions expected to continue in other SIGRA partner districts.

For years, access to safe and reliable water has been a daily challenge for many households in Agbledomi-Alakope, Agbledomi-Amemeliokope and Agbledomi-Tsorgbakope communities.

On Tuesday, 9th June, the Anloga District Assembly commissioned the SIGRA-supported water extension system funded by Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada, for the three communities, bringing potable water closer to the people who need it most.The system is expected to serve about 1,500 residents, including approximately 900 women and 600 men. For women and children, who often carry the responsibility of fetching water for household use, this means less time spent walking in search of water and more time for school, livelihoods, family care and other productive activities.

The project is also an important climate adaptation investment. As communities continue to face climate-related water stress, improving access to safe water is one practical way to strengthen resilience, protect wellbeing and support daily life.

Women collect the water. Women feed their families. Women bear the greatest burden when disasters strike. Yet their voices are still too often missing from climate decisions.
The SIGRA Ghana project is changing that—through radio programming, community engagement, and support for women-led climate action in Ghana's Northern and Volta Regions. Climate change is not gender-neutral. The SIGRA project places women at the centre of climate adaptation because that is where lasting solutions begin.

Following her visit to the Sang solar-powered borehole in Mion District on 6 May, H.E. Myriam Montrat, High Commissioner of Canada to Ghana, Togo and Sierra Leone, accompanied by the Head of Development and Senior Development Officer at Global Affairs Canada, continued her visit to SIGRA-supported project sites with a stop at the Kpegu Shea Processing Centre in Kumbungu District on 7 May.

The visit highlighted how Canada’s support is contributing to women’s economic empowerment and climate-resilient livelihoods in northern Ghana.

Funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Cowater International, SIGRA in partnership with the Kumbungu District Assembly, is constructing the Shea Processing Centre to help women move beyond raw shea production into improved processing, value addition and income generation. The initiative directly targets 97 beneficiaries, including 90 women, from Kpegu, Zangbalun-Kuku and Kprumi communities. Through the first phase of support, key infrastructure works have been completed, essential processing equipment procured, and beneficiaries organized into Village Savings and Loans Associations to strengthen financial literacy, savings mobilization and group management.

The High Commissioner commended the women’s commitment and highlighted the importance of investing in women and young people, while also ensuring that community infrastructure is sustained for future generations.

Through SIGRA, Canada and Cowater International are helping create practical pathways for women to increase their incomes, strengthen local enterprises and build more resilient livelihoods.

SIGRA was honoured to welcome H.E. Myriam Montrat, High commisioner of Canada to Ghana, Togo and Sierra Leone Commissioner of Canada to Ghana, Togo and Sierra Leone, accompanied by the Head of Development and Senior Development Officer at Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada to the Sang community in Mion District on 6 May.

The visit provided an opportunity to see how Canada’s support is helping communities respond to climate-related water stress through gender-responsive adaptation.

Funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Cowater International, the Strengthening Investment in Gender-Responsive Adaptation Project (SIGRA) in partnership with the Mion District Assembly supported the Sang community with a solar-powered mechanized borehole, now serving about 1,320 residents, including 780 women and girls. The intervention is improving access to safe and reliable water, reducing the burden of water collection on women and children, and strengthening community resilience to climate variability. During the visit, the High Commissioner emphasized the importance of women’s empowerment, youth inclusion, and sustaining community infrastructure so that the benefits can continue for future generations. Through SIGRA, Canada and Cowater International are supporting practical, locally led solutions that improve lives, strengthen resilience, and help communities adapt to climate change.

SIGRA in partnership with Farm Radio Ghana convened a CSO/CBO Capacity Building and Multi-stakeholder Content Design Workshop in Keta in Volta Region and Tamale in the Northen region. The workshop brought together 27 participants, including 21 women, to strengthen the capacity of local women-led CSOs/CBOs to communicate climate change issues, promote adaptation actions, and contribute to the design of a short radio program series for community awareness.

The workshop involved participatory sessions, where participants explored climate change challenges affecting their communities, including water scarcity, flooding, deforestation, soil infertility, food insecurity, migration, displacement, and rising temperatures. They also discussed adaptive measures, gender-responsive communication, and how to effectively use radio and other platforms to raise awareness and encourage positive behaviour change. The workshop also contributed to the development of content for a 6-episode radio program for the two regions.
