The government is set to announce measures on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, to address the severe drought affecting regions in the northern and middle belts of Ghana.
During a recent visit to Bolgatanga to commission the regional hospital, President Akufo-Addo expressed concern over the situation, pledging decisive action to alleviate the effects of the ongoing dry spell that has devastated these areas.
Farmers in the affected regions have suffered significant losses, with crops and overall farm output severely impacted by the drought.
The Minister of Agriculture, Brian Acheampong, will lead a press conference on Wednesday to outline the government's key measures to mitigate the impact on lives and livelihoods.
These measures are expected to offer hope to affected farmers and support agricultural recovery in the northern regions.
