From Research to Resilience: DecLaRe Project Concludes in Ghana

How can research move beyond reports to directly shape policies, improve livelihoods, and build climate resilience? This vital question drove the DecLaRe (Decision Support for strengthening Land Resilience in the face of global challenges) Final Dissemination Workshop in Tamale, Ghana.

Bringing together policymakers, researchers, extension officers, farmers, and development partners, the event marked the culmination of four years of collaborative research. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, the project has focused on developing practical decision-support tools and scalable innovations for crop production and animal husbandry across northern Ghana and northern Benin.

Participants reviewed and validated research-based policy briefs, refined knowledge products, and shared critical insights to ensure local relevance. As the DecLaRe project concludes, its lasting impact is anchored in robust partnerships, actionable recommendations, and a shared commitment to sustainable land management. Read more
