Output report: Enhancing adaptive strategies to cope with climate-induced coastal erosion in Ghana

Summary

Kasa Initiative Ghana is a civil society organisation in Ghana working in the climate change and natural resources sector. One of the key activities of Kasa includes empowering local communities and groups on environmental and climate change sustainability and resilience building approaches. Kasa received support from the ARA small grants programme in 2022 to undertake community research in Coastal communities of Ghana experiencing coastal erosion due to sea level rise as result of climate change. The research project was undertaken in three coastal regions of Ghana in which different stakeholder groups were engaged to assess the effectiveness of local adaptation strategies in response to sea level rise and coastal erosion.

The key outputs from the project were summarised and used to receive feedback from local communities on coastal erosion.
