The "One Village, One Dam" policy, introduced by the NPP government to support dry season farming, has failed to deliver despite funds being allocated.
According to Edward Kareweh, General Secretary of the General Agriculture Workers Union (GAWU), no new dams have been built, and existing ones have only been rehabilitated.
This, combined with encroachment by illegal miners, declining government investment in agriculture, and climate change, has led to high food prices and reduced food production in Ghana.
