Resume

The Accelerated Livelihood Emergency II project builds on the foundation of the piloted ALEA Project. The piloted ALEA project was designed to build resilient structures in flood prone communities along the White Volta in the Kumbungu District of Northern Region of Ghana. The ALEA II seeks to consolidate the gains made from the ALEA by strengthening the established structures to enhance disaster preparedness towards recurring floods that affect the settlers along the White Volta. The ALEA II has included key actors, such as the district assembly, NADMO, Ghana Health Service, Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA), media actors, relevant climate/emergency action organisations such as Red Cross Ghana Sama Sama and experts to increase results and expertise. YOPP will liaise and collaborate with these actors as a basis for sustainability, knowledge transfer in disaster preparedness to act decisively to address the recurring flood disasters.
