Job Opening at Green for Change Ghana

POSITION: Regional Project Coordinators

Rice farming produces significant methane emissions. However, a smarter water management technique called Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) can slash those emissions while saving water and improving yields. That is exactly where Green for Change Ghana (GCG) steps in. Consequently, the organization needs Regional Project Coordinators across Greater Accra, Volta, Northern, and Upper East Regions to drive this climate action forward.

The Bigger Picture Behind This Role

GCG has partnered with Erda Illumine Low Carbon Solutions (EILCS) and the Ghana Irrigation Development Authority (GIDA). Together, they are implementing an AWD Carbon Project across selected irrigation schemes. This initiative reduces methane emissions, promotes climate smart rice farming, improves soil organic carbon, and generates verified carbon credits. Furthermore, the project deploys digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems while supporting Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

What You Will Own as Regional Project Coordinator

You will provide overall coordination and supervision of project activities inside your assigned region. Your daily work will bring together rice farmers, Water User Associations (WUAs), GIDA officials, district stakeholders, and project partners.

Your core responsibilities include:

Overseeing project implementation according to approved work plans, timelines, budgets, and carbon standards such as Verra or Gold Standard
Driving adoption of AWD practices alongside climate smart agriculture, regenerative farming, and sustainable rice production
Mobilizing farmers and WUAs while engaging community leaders and local stakeholders for effective participation
Organizing training sessions and demonstration plots using farmer field learning activities on water use, crop management, and AWD techniques
Facilitating field technology installation including AWD tubes, sensors, and digital MRV systems
Coordinating data collection on soil organic carbon, greenhouse gas reductions, water use, crop yields, and other carbon accounting indicators
Maintaining accurate project records that comply with carbon certification and reporting standards
Building strong relationships with GIDA regional offices, District Assemblies, traditional authorities, and farmer organizations
Submitting timely weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports including success stories, lessons learned, and challenge documentation
Supporting validation and audit processes for carbon certification bodies and project partners
Identifying implementation risks while developing practical mitigation measures
Supervising field officers and enumerators to ensure quality project delivery
