The Strengthening Investments in Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation (SIGRA) project, a Canadian-funded initiative aimed at improving the resilience of Ghanaian citizens through increased investments in inclusive and gender-responsive climate adaptation initiatives, has been launched in Accra.

The US$10 million project is being implemented by Cowater International in partnership with the Government of Ghana through six key central-level Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). It aims to promote transparency, accountability, and inclusion, fostering collaboration between women-led CSOs and all levels of government in planning and executing climate adaptation investments. Approved by Global Affairs Canada (GAC), it aligns with its Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP).
