Funded by OXFAM, the main objective of the GROW project is to promote economic justice, food security and improved agricultural governance through budget tracking as well as promotion of climate change adaptation strategies. Towards this end we created a platform forsmallholder farmers to contribute to the 2023 agricultural sector budget formulation, highlighting issues bothering on climate change and agriculture in general. In addition, we also engaged key national and local level stakeholders on the need to prioritize climate change adaptation financing. A dialogue was organized in two communities in the Northern Region (Savulugu) and Ashanti Region (Kumasi) to empower smallholder farmers to influence policy decisions and financing relating to climate change. They were further given the platform to make input into the 2022 National Budget and Economic Statement. Key achievements under this project include.

• 4/8 inputs submitted to the MoF were reflected in 4/8 the 2023 National Budget Statement.
• Provided smallholder farmers with information on available climate change funds to inform proposals aimed at influencing climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in Ghana.
