The Strengthening Investments in Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation (SIGRA) Project is a five-year 10M CAD Government of Canada-funded initiative that aims to improve the resilience of Ghanaian citizens through increased investments in inclusive and gender-responsive climate adaptation initiatives.
Cowater International implements SIGRA and supports climate action and inclusive governance in Ghana, while applying GAC’s Feminist International Assistance Policy. It seeks to promote transparency, accountability and inclusion, and foster collaboration between women led Civil Society Organizations and all levels of government on the planning and executing local climate adaptation investments.
