Women farmers, magazias and community leaders have benefitted from a training on fire prevention organized by the Savannah Women Integrated Development Agency (SWIDA – Ghana).
The beneficiaries came from five communities within the Savelugu Municipality, where the Climate Justice Project is being implemented.
The training on fire prevention is part of SWIDA – Ghana’s way of contributing to better farming conditions to ultimately promote yield.
Programme Officer for the Climate Justice Project, ……encouraged the women farmers especially, to pay attention to the training, since they will need it should the unfortunate incident of a fire outbreak occurs on their farms.
He reminded the beneficiaries about the need to take proper ownership and provide protection for the Shea Parklands which SWIDA – Ghana facilitated for them to secure.
The Climate Justice Project, being implemented by SWIDA – Ghana and funded by the Global fund for Women, seeks to help build the capacity of women farmers, and to help the communities acquire and own Shea Parklands for all time farming.
The training was organized in collaboration with the Ghana National Fire Service and Save – Self Ghana.
Some of the beneficiaries expressed joy over the new things they have learnt through the training, as they promised to share the knowledge with other members of their communities.
The next training, which is a part of the activities on the Climate Justice, will take place in Gushegu.
