The sixth and final national capacity building workshop on “Nature-based solutions for flood and drought management in the Volta Basin” for the stakeholders of Ghana with a view to develop bankable projects is presently on-going in Accra, Ghana for the next three days (15-17 February 2022). This is organized under the framework of the Volta Flood and Drought Management (VFDM) project, funded by the Adaptation Fund. The national workshops in the other five Volta Basin countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali and Togo) were successfully completed between November 2021 and February 2022.
