The New Juaben South Municipal Assembly (NJSMA) Adaptation Plan (2024–2030) outlines a strategic framework to mitigate climate risks in Ghana's Eastern Region. Following a vulnerability assessment, the plan prioritizes interventions across eight sectors, with agriculture and water resources identified as the most vulnerable. Key strategies include promoting climate-smart agriculture (e.g., aquaculture and animal husbandry), protecting water catchments through afforestation, and improving urban drainage to reduce flooding. The plan emphasizes gender-responsive actions, such as creating social support groups and promoting palm kernel processing for women. Implementation is led by the Municipal Planning Coordination Unit (MPCU) and supported by a multi-stakeholder governance framework and a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) system.
