Integrated climate smart flood management for Accra - Ghana : final technical report
2020
Dovie, Delali Benjamin
This in-depth report reviews the study, which applied a cross-sectional approach to investigate how residents and households within the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area of Ghana (GAMA) manage flood risks. It also worked to obtain useable information about transition to resilience within the study communities to prevent, prepare, respond to and recover from flooding events. Public adaptive measures can help reduce vulnerability to floods in GAMA. Flood hazard is exacerbated by poor waste management, lack of flood management infrastructure, and spatial planning. There is no clearly defined governance structure for flood response due to poor policy coherence and lack of capacity.
