The International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with the Government of Ghana and with funding from the Government of Denmark, has officially launched a new project aimed at strengthening transhumance monitoring and enhancing community resilience in Northern Ghana.
The initiative, titled “Strengthening Transhumance Monitoring and Community Resilience in Northern Ghana,” is part of the Climate Change and Migration Data Programme, which addresses the interlinked challenges of human mobility and climate change.
The project will employ the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) – Transhumance Tracking Tool (TTT) to gather and analyze data on pastoralist movements across the region.
This tool will enhance evidence-based knowledge regarding transhumance activities and provide crucial early warnings to communities about migration patterns influenced by climate conditions.
In addition to monitoring movements, the project aims to improve natural resource management practices in the Upper East and Upper West regions of Ghana.
By fostering sustainable environmental practices, it seeks to build community resilience against the adverse effects of climate change and environmental degradation.
“The impacts of climate change on migration patterns are profound, particularly for pastoralists who rely heavily on natural resources,” said an IOM representative during the launch event.
“This project is a significant step towards addressing these challenges and supporting vulnerable communities in adapting to changing environmental conditions.”
By integrating innovative tracking tools and promoting sustainable resource management, this initiative aspires to empower communities while fostering a more resilient future in the face of climate change.
