Indigenes of Sagyemaase, Atewa, and surrounding communities in the Eastern Region have undergone comprehensive training in land reclamation as part of efforts to empower them with the skills necessary to combat land degradation.

A capacity-building workshop was held to equip locals and advocate for their leadership in the land rehabilitation process, aiming to restore the environment ahead of the anticipated bauxite mining activities in the community.

The training, which took place in Sagyemaase in the Abuakwa-South District of the Eastern Region, brought together a variety of stakeholders, including traditional leaders, assembly members, opinion leaders, and residents.

Similar workshops have already been held in Nyinahin and Awaso.
