We're proud to become the third African government to do so, alongside Kenya and Zambia, as the continent embraces high-integrity carbon markets as a tool to accelerate climate action.
Ghana is actively participating in #LondonClimateActionWeek2026, engaging global leaders and partners on climate finance, forest conservation, landscape restoration, carbon markets and nature - based solutions.
The wait is over🥳🥳🥳🥳. Agooo!! 📣📣📣Stay tuned for the premiere of our Ghana Cocoa Forest REDD+ Programme (GCFRP) documentary! It is happening on Thursday, 17th April, 2025 at 12:00PM GMT on Youtube m.

The team also visited the Mankranso CHED office to liaise with the District officer and the HMB to collate a farmer list for 15,000Ha Trees on farm under the GRILMaP. They also had the opportunity to inspect some of the procured farm inputs stored at the CHED office.
The main objective of the engagement was to increase awareness of the project, inform community members of planned activities for this year and also seek their support for smooth implementation.

These engagements will largely unveil and increase visibility of the project within the communities. The team engaged over 255 community members in Kintampo North and South and Nkoranza North and South.

Advancing Sustainable Cocoa in Assin Nyankomase.
Sustainable cocoa production requires continuous dialogue and collaboration. Today, the SECO Green Commodities Programme (GCP III), in partnership with the Ghana Cocoa Forest REDD+ Programme (GCFRP), continues its HIA engagements with the Kakum Hotspot Intervention Area (HIA) Management Board in Assin Nyankomase.
This engagement focuses on strengthening local governance structures, enhancing landscape management, carbon benefit distribution and promotion of sustainable farming practices that benefit both farmers and the environment. By working together, we can build a resilient cocoa sector that supports livelihoods while safeguarding Ghana’s forests.
