  "summary": "Dr. Luc Boerboom, an Associate Professor at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, has proposed a shift in investment focus from the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor to emerging inland areas in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. This shift is aimed at reducing development pressure on coastal communities and building their resilience against climate-related challenges, particularly flooding. Boerboom made this recommendation during the third session of the Steering Committee on the Improved Resilience of Coastal Communities in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, held in Accra.",
