Working Landscape Ghana

About this project

Tropenbos Ghana (TBG) will implement the Working Landscapes programme in the JB and SW landscapes with the following rationales. First, both landscapes are part of the nine Hotspot Intervention Areas (HIA) identified through the Ghana Cocoa-Forest REDD+ programme as areas where interventions for halting deforestation and restoring degraded forest are prioritized nationally. Second, the Cocoa and Forest Initiative (CFI) identified the same landscapes as relevant for piloting cocoa companies’ corporate efforts to curtail cocoa-related deforestation. Third, the landscapes have relatively good forest cover and scope for crop diversification, making them suitable for developing and upscaling integrated climate-smart models. Last but not least, support from other Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and LBCs active in the landscapes can function as leverage to synergize interventions to move towards deforestation-free cocoa production and ensure living wages for cocoa farmers. TBG believes that halting deforestation and degradation in combination with climate-smart land-use and restoration, through inclusive decision making and sustainable incentives, will lead to resilience of the JB and SW landscapes, guaranteeing sustainable livelihoods of smallholder cocoa farmers. As such it will be possible to transform JB and SW to resilient climate-smart landscapes. TBG envisages JB and SW as climate-smart agriculture-forest mosaic landscapes with deforestation rate reduced to zero, where co…
