The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has launched a Parkland Restoration Fund (PRF) as part of ongoing efforts to ensure the Shea industry continues to play its integral part in the lives of the people in the Northern Savannah landscape of Ghana.
The PRF is expected to raise $65.5 million from public and private sources to implement the Action for Shea Parklands – an initiative to plant 10 million shea trees and protect 4 million hectares of shea parklands.
The Government of Ghana has already committed $15 million as part of the $54.5 million Ghana Shea Landscape Emission Reduction Project, which is aimed at restoring degraded shea parklands and improving existing stock of economic and multi-purpose trees in the Northern Savannah landscape of Ghana.
