In a strategic move to build climate resilience and restore ecological balance in Ghana's forest-depleted zones, Nasira Afrah, the Member of Parliament for Sekyere Afram Plains, has launched the Nasira Green Initiative a community-based tree-crop planting project aimed at regenerating degraded land and strengthening local livelihoods.
The initiative, launched in the farming town of Drobonso, is being recognised as a significant example of climate leadership at the constituency level, blending environmental advocacy with socio-economic empowerment.
It mobilises local communities to take ownership of the land restoration process through education, reforestation, and agroforestry. "This is more than an environmental project it's a call for grassroots action," she Afrah said. "We're restoring not only our land but also our dignity, our economy, and our children's future." A Constituency Model for Climate-Responsive Development The project responds to urgent environmental threats in the area, including illegal logging, seasonal bushfires, and climate-driven shifts affecting agricultural productivity.
With food security and water access increasingly at risk, the Nasira Green Initiative positions itself as a locally driven solution with scalable potential.
