Wa, July 31, GNA- Forest and Farm Producer Organisations (FFPOs) have received support to act as primary agents of climate change to improve on the livelihoods of local communities in their areas of operation.

Under the support provided by Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) Ghana, the FFPOs are expected to form consortiums that would make them better mobilized with the needed capacity and voice to influence policy to promote climate change.

Mr Philip Ayamba, the Programmes Coordinator for Zuuri Organic Farmers Association (ZOFA) and a member of the FFPOs, revealed this in Wa during a roundtable of the Savanna Zone on policy opportunities for the FFPOs.
