BACKGROUND
The Rainforest Alliance is an international nonprofit organization that works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior. Based in New York City and Amsterdam, with offices located in major markets and key countries producing tropical commodities, and a global network of partners, the Rainforest Alliance works with over a million producers whose livelihoods depend on the land, helping them transform the way they grow food, harvest timber and host travelers.
In 2017 Rainforest Alliance Ghana began a collaboration with Partnership for Forests (P4F), a programme funded by the UK government designed to support deforestation-free production of tropical commodities. In West and Central Africa, Palladium manages P4F. The Rainforest Alliance initiative is working in collaboration with Olam Ghana, a Licensed Buying Company (LBC) and national office of the major commodity supply chain company, Olam International, together with the Forest Service Division of the Forestry Commission of Ghana, Ghana Cocoa Board, Traditional Authorities, and local communities. Together, the parties share the goal of conserving the cocoa forest landscape in the corridor around Sui River, Suhuma, Tano Ehuru, Tano Suhien and Santomang within Sefwi Wiawso municipality and Bodi and Akontombra districts in the Western Region. During the Phase I of the project, the parties signed an MOU to work together to promote improved landscape governance through the creation of two Landscape Management Boards (LMBs).
Baseline assessment, business and financial plan and Landscape Management Plan (LMP) have been drafted to monitor the activities of the LMBs.
