Project One
Enhancing Natural Forest and Agro-Forest Landscape Project - ENFALP
The Project Development Objective of the ENFALP is to improve forest and tree management practices by cocoa farmers, CREMA communities and forest reserve managers to reduce forest loss and degradation in selected landscapes in Ghana’s High Forest Zone.
The ultimate beneficiaries of this project are the rural communities (current and future generations) in the Western and Brong Ahafo Regions who manage agricultural landscapes and forests for their livelihoods, especially those involved in cocoa farming and members of CREMA.
The project has four components
Policy Reforms and Institutional Strengthening
Pilot Investment for Improved Forest and Landscape Management
Innovation, Capacity Building and Communications
Project Management
Project Two
Engaging Local Communities in REDD+/ Enhancing Natural Forest –ELCIR+
The Project development objective is to contribute to the increase of carbon stocks, and poverty reduction in the off reserve areas of the High Forest Zones, by engaging communities in land management approaches that generate direct financial and environmental benefits.
The project area is mainly in the high forest and some portions of the transitional zones. About 12,000 individuals involved in diversified livelihood options such as tree growing, cocoa and food farming, charcoal production and Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) gathering are expected to directly benefit from the project. The indirect beneficiaries are estimated at about 175,000 people, which represents 5% of the total populations of the two regions are also expected to indirectly benefit from the project.
The project components
Community Restoration of Degraded off-reserve forests and Agricultural Landscapes
Promoting Climate Smart and Environmentally Responsible Cocoa and Agroforestry systems
Community alternative livelihoods and capacity building
