How safeguards for REDD+ are being addressed and respected in Ghana
Ghana has adopted a nested approach for implementation of REDD+ in a phased programmatic approach with initial focus on the High Forest Zone and scaling up to cover the other distinct major ecological zones of the country such as the Savanna Zone.
The objective of Ghana's FIP (Forest Investment Programme) is to 'reduce GHG emissions from deforestation and forest degradation while reducing poverty and conserving biodiversity', with a range of interventions in the High Forest Zone toward reducing deforestation through more sustainable management practices for forests, agro-forests and cocoa landscapes.
