In Upper West Region, women are stepping into their power as peacebuilders and community leaders. Ghana’s Upper West Regional House of Chiefs, through the IOM implemented Coastal States Stability Mechanism (CSSM), supports 90 Queen Mothers and Fulbe women in gaining the skills, confidence, and platforms to lead inclusion, dialogue, resolve conflicts, and shape decisions that affect their communities. For many, this is the first time they are being recognized as leaders. From learning how to engage community authorities to contributing to peacebuilding discussions, these women are transforming not only their own roles but the future of their communities, helping to reduce tensions, build trust, and ensure that peace efforts leave no one behind. Because when women lead, communities thrive!

For returning migrants like Sherrifa, the lack of legal identity does not just slow reintegration; it limits their opportunities, their access to protection, and their ability to rebuild. With support from the National Identification Authority (NIA), Ghana and through the EU-funded Migrant Protection, Return and Reintegration for Sub-Saharan Africa initiative, Sherrifa finally obtained her “Ghana Card,” helping her rebuild her life back home.

Klimaforandringer påvirker i stigende grad migrationsmønstre og brugen af naturressourcer på tværs af landegrænser i Ghana. Under det danskfinansieret CCMD-program, støttet af Udenrigsministeriet, samarbejder IOM Ghana med regeringen i Ghana for at opnå en bedre forståelse af dyr og hyrders bevægelser, når de rykker med sæsonerne, og deres indvirkning på lokalsamfund. Centrale aktiviteter omfatter blandt andet: ➡️ Kortlæning af migrationskorridorer og vigtige ressourcepunkter ➡️ Facilitering af dialog mellem hyrder, landmænd og lokale ledere ➡️ Træning af lokalsamfund i konfliktforebyggelse og konfliktmægling ➡️ Støtte til inkluderende planer for forvaltningen af naturressourcer Ved at styrke samarbejdet mellem lokalsamfund bidrager programmet til en fredelig sameksistens, bæredygtig landanvendelse og klimaresiliens. #KlimaMigration #KlimaAktion
