The Ghana Youth Guide (GYG), a youth-focused advocacy organisation, has held a two-day Climate Action, Advocacy, and Assets Mapping Training Workshop at Savelugu in the Northern Region.
The training brought together 105 community leaders and second-cycle students from the Tolon District and Savelugu Municipality to enhance inclusive climate resilience and promote sustainable agriculture.
Held under the Resilient Roots of Change (R2C) intervention, the workshop formed part of ongoing efforts to empower Ghanaian youth for sustainable agriculture and strengthen community-level climate advocacy.
The event also attracted traditional authorities, teachers, clergy, media representatives, government officials, civil society organisations, and community group leaders.
It was to build the capacity of youth advocates, spark critical climate-justice conversations, and map local assets to promote sustainable agricultural practices and resilience at the community level.
Mr Prince Ghentiwuni Abdul-Fataw, Executive Director of GYG, speaking during the workshop, underscored the importance of the training in nurturing local leadership and strengthening commitment to climate action.
He said agriculture remained the backbone of the country’s economy and urged young people to develop greater interest in agribusiness to help create jobs and ensure food security.
