SIGRA Engages Stakeholders in Anloga District.

21st January, 2026

The Strengthening Investments in Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation (SIGRA) Project has held a stakeholder engagement meeting in the Anloga District aimed at promoting inclusive participation and strengthening climate adaptation initiatives within the district.

The meeting brought together representatives from the Anloga District Assembly, traditional authorities, women-led organizations, civil society groups, community leaders, youth groups, and other development partners to discuss strategies for enhancing climate resilience and ensuring that the voices of women and vulnerable groups are reflected in development planning and decision-making.

Speaking during the engagement, officials from SIGRA emphasized the importance of collaboration among stakeholders in addressing the effects of climate change and improving livelihoods in coastal communities. They noted that gender-responsive planning and increased community participation are essential for sustainable development in the district.

Participants exchanged ideas on climate-related challenges confronting communities in the district, including coastal erosion, flooding, and water shortages, while exploring practical interventions to strengthen resilience and promote inclusive growth. The engagement also provided a platform for stakeholders to identify priority areas and deepen partnerships towards effective implementation of climate adaptation projects.

The stakeholders commended SIGRA and its partners for creating opportunities for dialogue and pledged their commitment to supporting initiatives that will improve the socio-economic wellbeing of residents, particularly women, girls, and other vulnerable groups.

The SIGRA Project, funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Cowater International in partnership with key institutions, seeks to strengthen governance systems and increase investments in gender-responsive climate adaptation across selected districts, including Anloga and Akatsi North in the Volta Region.
