CEAL Ghana

The Center for Ecological Agricultural and Livelihoods (CEAL) is a registered local NGO committed to alleviating poverty and food insecurity while enhancing the climate resilience of smallholder farmers in Northern Ghana. Driven by the pressing challenges of under-development, slow socio-economic transformation, deeply rooted poverty, high vulnerability to climate change, and unsustainable agricultural practices, a group of smallholder farmers formed a farmer-based organization (FBO) that evolved into a non-governmental organization. CEAL's mission revolves around studying, modeling, and developing environmentally friendly and inclusive strategies to support smallholder farmers in improving their livelihood outcomes in Northern Ghana.
