Climate Adaptation: Risk Management and Resilience Optimisation for Vulnerable Road Access in Africa: Ghana
Management of Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change: Ghana
Abstract
AfCAP commissioned a project in April 2016 to produce regional guidance on the development of climate-resilient rural access in Africa through research and knowledge sharing within and between participating countries. The output will assist the development of a climate resilient road network that reaches fully into and between rural communities. The study focusses on: (a) demonstrating appropriate engineering and non-engineering adaptation procedures; (b) sustainable enhancement in the capacity of three AfCAP partner countries; (c) sustainable enhancement in the capacity of additional AfCAP partner countries; and (d) uptake and embedment across AfCAP partner countries.
This report is a Country Report on Ghana on the management of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change using the principles and recommendations set out in the AFCAP Climate Adaptation Handbook and the relevant associated guidelines.
This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
