AFRAM PLAINS Finally, the principal aim of this news letter is to create awareness about the causes and the possible solutions that can be find to stop this ecological and social disaster, through the exemplification of the different actions, activities and projects that are carried on principally in the Afram Plains, by Ricerca e Cooperazione in collaboration with Afram Plains Development Organization and also by other different actors. It is not a fight against a foreign enemy, the fight against desertification is a fight against established habits we have acquired and consolidated in time. To devastate the natural environment is like wiping out our source of survival. To win this battle we have to change our common habits, our day by day way of leaving. Only if we learn how to live respecting nature we can assure our children and grandchildren will still have a place where to live meaningfully. Micol Sandrini, RC Project Director and Mr. E.Y. O.

To attain this result the project will implement the following activities: awareness creation campaign, workshops, creation of a forestry forum for the protection and sustainable management of natural resources, creation of a network for the sustainable use of natural resources and for the fight against desertification, production of a documentary on the production of charcoal and the concomitant increase of desertification, campaign for advocacy and lobbying, newsletters, website and documentary. SECOND RESULT: the agro-forestry resources managed for charcoal production, in a sustainable way, increased. The following actions will be carried out by the project to accomplish the aim: training for DA, FSD, NADMO, traditional chiefs; agro-forestry training for farmers and charcoal producers; formation of charcoal producers `associations; diffusion of gas, equipment for the use of gas and other alternative energies tools; planting of cassia and food crops; training for the production of charcoal (efficient techniques of Fighting against desertification combustion); planting of indigenous tree species along water courses.

Gregory Knight Professor of Geography Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Climate variability and change alter the amount and timing of water resources available for rural communities in the Afram Plains district, Ghana. Given the fact that the district has been experiencing a historical and multi-scalar economic and political neglect, its communities face a particular vulnerability for accessing current and future water resources. Therefore, these communities must adapt their water management strategies to both future climate change and the socio-economic context. Using participatory methods and interviews, I explore the success of past and present water management strategies by three communities in the Afram Plains in order to establish potentially effective responses to future climate change. Currently, few strategies are linked to climate variability and change; however, the methods and results assist in giving voice to the participant communities by recognizing, sharing, and validating their experiences of multiple climatic and non-climatic vulnerabilities and the past, current, and future strategies which may enhance their adaptive capacity.
