The Black Volta River Basin
Welcome to the Black Volta River Basin, a vibrant landscape where rivers, farmlands, woodlands and communities are deeply connected. Here, community ambition, nature and sustainable development come together to shape a more resilient future for generations to come.
About Afrivoices
Afrivoices for Climate Change is a locally rooted Ghanaian non-governmental organisation working with communities across the Black Volta River Basin to advance climate-resilient rural development. Our work brings together climate-smart and regenerative agriculture, landscape restoration, digital agricultural advisory services and inclusive livelihood development, with women and young people central to the approach. We connect community knowledge with scientific expertise, appropriate technology and development investment so that local priorities shape the work.
About AfrivoicesOur Services
Afrivoices works across five connected service areas that link resilient agriculture, inclusive livelihoods, climate information, governance and community voice.
Climate-Smart and Regenerative Agriculture
We support farmers to use climate-smart and regenerative practices that strengthen soil health, sustain production and improve their ability to adapt to climate pressures.
Youth and Women Empowerment
We support women and young people to build skills, enterprises and livelihood opportunities linked to climate-resilient agriculture and green economic activity.
Climate Information and Digital Extension
We connect farmers and communities to timely climate information, digital advisory services and practical knowledge that can support better-informed farming decisions.
Community Voice and Advocacy
We amplify the lived experience of basin communities through storytelling, media and digital campaigns, connecting farmer and youth testimony with policymakers, donors and the public.
Why Choose Us

Local Insight
We bring trusted relationships and deep knowledge of the Black Volta River Basin.
Community Ownership
We build solutions around local needs, knowledge and aspirations.
Bridging the Gap
We connect policy, research and investment with the realities of communities on the ground.
