GHANA YOUTH GUIDE Green Club members of Tolon Senior High School is getting their hands dirty for a greener future.

Today, our dedicated Green Club members began weeding the school’s soya beans farm. This activity forms part of GYG Resilient Root of Change Project which aims to promote climate-smart agriculture, food security, and youth leadership in our communities.

Through school gardens like this, students are not just learning about agriculture in the classroom. They are practicing it. They are building skills in crop management, teamwork, environmental stewardship, and resilience to climate change.

We are proud of these young change-makers who are taking real action to nurture the land today so we can all harvest a better tomorrow.

Under the GYG Resilient Root of Change Project, GYG has made a significant investment in cargo tricycles to address one of the biggest challenges facing some of our household farmers in the Tolon District was access to farm inputs and transportation of produce.

During our monthly project monitoring and field visit yesterday in the Tolon District, project staff and volunteers joined beneficiary farmers as they used one of the R2C project tricycles to commute and work on farms located about 34 kilometers from the district capital.

The visit provided an opportunity to assess progress, observe adoption of climate-smart practices, and document how the intervention is easing the daily workload of household farmers.

For years, farmers in our project communities have relied on head-loading or expensive commercial transport to move tools, inputs, and harvests. With the support of R2C tricycles, that burden is changing.

Beneficiaries were seen transporting farm materials and produce, while applying skills gained from GYG’s training on sustainable agriculture and farm management.

This tricycle has cut down the time and cost of getting to my farm and bringing things back home,” a beneficiary farmer shared during the visit. “We can now do more work in less time.”

GYG noted a remarkably high adoption rate of the skills and resources provided. Farmers are not only using the tricycles but are also maintaining them and coordinating schedules to ensure shared access within their communities.

The field visit forms part of GYG’s commitment to evidence-based monitoring. Through regular engagement with beneficiaries, the R2C team tracks progress, documents success stories, and identifies areas for improvement to ensure the intervention delivers lasting impact.

GYG remains committed to working with local farmers, volunteers, and district stakeholders to build climate-resilient livelihoods that put farmers at the center of change.

Today, parts of Accra are once again underwater. Homes, roads, schools, and farms are flooded. Livelihoods are disrupted. And the most vulnerable citizens are paying the highest price. As Ghana Youth Guide, we ask a critical question: As a nation, what is our disaster and risk management plan? We wa...

GHANA YOUTH GUIDE team leaders, led by our Executive Director Prince Chentiwuni, accompanied by our director of administration Farouk Kibtiya proudly participated in this year’s Ghana Civil Society Forum GCSF 2026, powered by STAR-Ghana Foundation. The 2-day forum was held on 25–26 June 2026 at the Cedi Conference Hall, University of Ghana, Accra with the theme: Reimagining Partnerships for Democratic Consolidation and Inclusive Development.

The Forum brought together over 300 participants from across Ghana and beyond- including CSOs, government, development partners, academia, private sector, traditional and faith leaders, youth movements, and media. It was graced by H.E. John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana, as Guest of Honour.

The Forum created a vital platform for youth and youth-based organizations to engage directly with national stakeholders. For GYG, this was an opportunity to connect our work on the ground in Tolon and Savelugu to national conversations on ownership, accountability, and locally led development.

Conversations emphasized moving beyond donor dependence to locally led, locally funded solutions. This resonates with what we are already seeing under R2C — over 400 household farmers in Tolon and Savelugu now producing and transporting their own organic compost, using knowledge and limited project resources to take charge of their farms.

With discussions on local philanthropy, peer review, and CSO sustainability, GYG is committed to strengthening accountability and community ownership in all our climate-smart agriculture and resilience programs.

We leave Accra inspired and re-energized. The lessons from GCSF 2026 will directly shape how we scale farmer-led climate action, youth participation, and community dialogue in Northern Ghana.

To our farmers, volunteers, traditional leaders, and partners in Tolon and Savelugu, this is your work being recognized at the national level. Let’s keep building resilient, farmer-led agriculture together.
