  "summary": "Over 60,000 transhumant animals and more than 2,000 herders from countries in the Sahel, including Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Togo, entered Ghana's Upper East Region between February and June 2025, according to research conducted by Changing Lives in Innovative Partnerships (CLIP) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) Ghana. The study, part of the Transhumance Tracking Tool (TTT) project, aimed to generate evidence on transhumant movements and help prevent farmer-herder conflicts in the region. The research identified 17 major transhumance corridors connecting northern Ghana to neighboring Burkina Faso, with the majority of entry routes located in the Sissala East, Sissala West, and Lambussie areas of the Upper West Region. The data revealed that the Upper East experienced its highest inflows between February and May, while the Upper West recorded comparatively higher inflows between June and November.",
