Solidaridad, Tropenbos Ghana disburse funds to farmers

Speaking at separate ceremonies to present a $10,000 cheque each to six HIAs in Ahafo Ano South East in the Ashanti Region and Asutifi-Asunafo in the Ahafo Region, Programme Manager at Solidaridad West Africa, Alfred Fosu, said the initiative sought to ensure equitable access to benefits from emission reduction payments under the Ghana Cocoa Forest REDD+ Programme (GCFRP).

Solidaridad West Africa and Tropenbos Ghana have disbursed revolving funds totalling $180,000 to selected Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) under the World Bank-funded Enhancing Access to Benefits while Lowering Emissions (EnABLE) Programme.

By strengthening local financial systems, we contribute to economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability,” he stated, stressing the programme would continue to provide technical support and monitoring to beneficiary VSLAs to ensure effective use of the funds.
