Deputy Director and Head of Environment and Climate Unit of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA), Ghana

"We would like to see the AgMIP RIA methodology extended to other farming systems that contribute to the food basket in Ghana. We see opportunities to partner the AgMIP Ghana team in a future study and for capacity building in the use and interpretation of the outputs of the methodology."


We find the AgMIP RIA (Regional Integrated Assessment) methodology useful to support our work in climate change impact and adaptation assessments within the agricultural sector in Ghana. Hence, we would like to see the methodology extended to other farming systems that contribute to the food basket in Ghana.

We are willing to partner the AgMIP Ghana team in a future study and also request for capacity building in the use and interpretation of the outputs of the methodology.

On priority research areas to contribute to the climate change adaptation discourse at the national level, more studies are required to assess the economic feasibility of Climate Smart technologies and practices.

Additionally, studies on up-scaling and improving traditional farming practices, leveraging technology and new knowledge to support the climate change adaptation planning process, are required. We are interested in hosting the Impact Explorer on our website but we are currently technically challenged. Once we overcome the challenges, this will be done. MoFA is interested in adding our logo on the Info and Policy briefs to which we have contributed as co-producers.
