Mangrove envisions being a leading developmental NGO that will position itself at the cutting edge of development policy discourses that affect rural farmers’ livelihoods with primary focus on advocacy on climate change, afforestation, food and nutritional security, use of ICT in agriculture and cross cutting areas such as gender, health and education through an integrated approach.
The NGO will facilitate sustainable agricultural practices that will encourage the youth to actively participate in agriculture.

Our mission is to give a face-lift to rural livelihood diversification activities in Ghana through farmer empowerment, provision of technical backstopping, advocacy, policy, research and extension support to agrarian rural and coastal communities, civil society groups, traditional authorities, government institutions and the private sector to ensure inclusive and integrated development and management of Ghana’s natural resource and marine ecosystems. Promotion of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is at the forefront of our development objective.
