SIGRA Climate Adaptation Projects

Anloga District, along Ghana’s southeastern coast, is facing worsening climate impacts. Coastal flooding, tidal waves, and rising sea levels have displaced communities like Agorkedzi-Fuveme and disrupted fishing livelihoods. Inland areas such as Agbledomi face water shortages due to salinity and prolonged dry seasons. Women and girls are most affected, with limited livelihood options and the added burden of water collection. To address these challenges, SIGRA is supporting two gender-responsive adaptation projects in the district as part of the first three years of grants
