News from Burkina Faso
Since 2007, Tree Aid has been working with communities across Burkina Faso to manage, protect, and use forests, known as our forest governance programme.
Following the success of phase one, in 2019 we rolled out our work into more communities across the country.
So far on this project, there have been 609,021 trees planted, 138 new enterprise groups created to collect, transform and sell tree products, and many more achievements.
Tree Aid innovations in Ghana
Ghana has experienced severe land degradation. The environment there is difficult, the land is dry and
infertile, making it difficult for people to grow food. As a result, Tree Aid is finding ways to adapt to these
challenges.
Some of the ingenious solutions include grass briquettes, vetiver grass planting, and mud walls.
