Agroforestry Development in Ghana: A Participatory Approach to Progress

Leave a Comment / Reports /

This comprehensive report, commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and authored by i4Policy, explores the current state, challenges, and opportunities of agroforestry development in Ghana. It highlights agroforestry’s potential for sustainable development but notes its limitations, particularly a strong focus on cocoa-based systems despite the potential for other crops and ecological zones. The report identifies key stakeholders, including governmental bodies, traditional authorities, the private sector, NGOs, and international organizations, and examines the complex interplay of legal frameworks, land and tree tenure issues, socioeconomic disincentives, and environmental challenges. Ultimately, it proposes a participatory blueprint for success, emphasizing the need for a unified national agroforestry policy, stakeholder collaboration, and the leveraging of technology to address existing barriers and unlock Ghana’s full agroforestry potential.

We partnered with Participedia and seven other universities and organizations to launch the School on Transnational Democratic Innovations. This initiative connected students and practitioners worldwide with leading experts to learn about and design transnational processes to address global challenges. Participants drew inspiration from the world’s first Global Citizens’ Assembly, the coordinators of the Conference on the Future of Europe, prominent academics in democratic innovation and transnational governance, and activists advocating for UN reform. The event took place simultaneously at two decentralized locations: Memorial University in St. John’s, Canada, and the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa. For more information, see Participedia’s report here.

Governance Vocabularies Initiative

Leave a Comment / Projects /

We partnered with Participedia and the UM6P School of Collective Intelligence to launch the Governance Vocabularies Initiative at a conference in Morocco in 2023. This initiative brings together researchers, practitioners, and activists from across the world to reimagine governance vocabularies that acknowledge diverse knowledge systems, particularly from the Global South. The Initiative recognizes that insights into “good” governance exist globally and aims to connect this knowledge, and make it easier for people to access, share and build better forms of government and collective action.
