Center For Empowering The Rural Woman

A NEW LIVELIHOOD PROJECT LAUNCHED IN THE BUILSA SOUTH DISTRICT OF THE UPPER EAST REGION OF GHANA.

Center For Empowering The Rural Woman (CERW Ghana) in partnership with UNDP Ghana, is honored to officially launch the PREVENTING AND RESPONDING TO VIOLENT EXTREMISM IN THE ATLANTIC CORRIDOR PROJECT in the Bachongsa Community, located in the Builsa South District of the Upper East Region of Ghana, with funding support from the Embassy of Denmark in Ghana and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Accra through the Government of Denmark and Norway. The team led by the Acting Executive Director, Mr. Benjamin Dimongso Kafari, held a community entry and stakeholders’ engagement event in the community to create awareness of the project activities and to seek the inputs and support of the community members with the project implementation. The community entry engagement created an opportunity to introduce the project, share its objectives, and engage directly with community members about the impact it seeks to create. The event brought together community members, Chiefs, elders, and Assembly Members, who came out in their numbers to welcome the initiative and contribute to meaningful discussions about the future of their community.

This livelihood project aims to strengthen peace-promotional structures and help in preventing violent extremism through livelihood support systems for the community through sustainable peace initiatives and community-driven interventions.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our valued Donors, the Governments of Denmark and Norway for supporting this important initiative to promote peace and rural development in Ghana.

Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient and an empowered community to sustain peace and prosperity.

At CERW, we are proud to have been part of something truly impactful this in the Upper East Region.

Through The Food Discourse – Bolgatanga Edition, we witnessed the power of collaboration especially with youth-led institutions driving the change. Together with our partners, we engaged 40 local farmers and trained over 150 community members in aquaculture, exceeding expectations and strengthening knowledge on climate resilience, food sovereignty, and sustainable livelihoods.

This experience reaffirmed our belief that when young people are given the space and trust to lead, real community transformation happens.

We are grateful to have contributed to this shared vision and we look forward to doing even more.

The future is youth-led, and we’re proud to be part of the journey. 🌱 JDL TECH GH Ghana Food Movement Navrongo-Bolgatanga Catholic Diocesan Development Organisation -Nabocado Chevening Awards (FCDO) United Nations in Ghana Mastercard Foundation UNICEF Ghana
