The ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) approach is a means to finding solutions to recurring flooding problems in Accra. The increase in flooding events can partly be attributed to poor drainage caused by the lack of, or inadequate infrastructure. Municipal and district assemblies, as well as other relevant stakeholders, must collaborate in devising a roadmap for finding solutions to flooding. This Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) policy brief reviews a peer-to-peer EbA learning event on flood management. Local technical capacity to implement EbA needs to be developed to enhance the adoption of nature-based solutions.Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Netherland
