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.
