Spear Institute calls for overhaul of Ghana’s flood management system to prevent recurring disasters

Spear Institute has called for a major overhaul of Ghana’s flood management approach, urging authorities to shift from responding to disasters after they occur to investing in long-term prevention and climate resilience. The research firm made the call during a virtual media briefing on Friday, August 7, 2026, where it examined the country’s recurring flood crisis and proposed measures to reduce its impact.
