ActionAid Ghana, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity International and with support from UN-Habitat, has launched a mangrove restoration project at Dzita in the Anloga District of the Volta Region to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities against the effects of climate change.
The initiative forms part of a broader programme aimed at building resilience in vulnerable coastal communities in the Volta region, where years of mangrove depletion have left many areas exposed to coastal erosion, flooding, and rising sea levels.
Mr Ali Malik Gbene, Quality and Knowledge Management Manager at ActionAid Ghana, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the intervention was being implemented under Component Two of a UN-Habitat-funded programme focused on improving resilience in Ghana's coastal communities.
