574 villages benefit from One Village, One Dam policy – GIDA

The Ghana Irrigation Development Authority (GIDA) has announced that about 574 villages have benefited from the government’s One Village, One Dam policy, which was introduced to support dry-season farming in northern Ghana.

The One Village, One Dam policy, which involves constructing multipurpose dams in select villages, has yielded benefits according to GIDA.

The Authority stated that, each dam was built at a cost of 250,000 Ghana Cedis to serve the purposes of irrigation, aquaculture, and livestock.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Irrigation Development Authority, Richard Oppong-Boateng, provided an update on the project’s progress when he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament.
