Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

To enhance the regulation and management of the ASGM sector, the Minerals Commission has established nine mining district This document was produced in the framework of the project entitled: “Contributing to the centres in designated mining areas. The district centres are in preparation/implementation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, with a focus on developing Tarkwa, Asankragwa, Bibiani, Assin Foso, Akim Oda, Dunkwa on- strategies for phasing out mercury-added products and on reducing mercury use in Artisanal and Offin, Konongo, Wa and Bolgatanga.

National Communications Authority List Of
NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY LIST OF AUTHORISED VHF-FM RADIO STATIONS IN GHANA AS AT SECOND QUARTER, 2017 Page 1 of 82 OVERVIEW OF FM RADIO BROADCASTING STATIONS IN GHANA Section 2 of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008, Act 775 mandates that the National Communications Authority “shall regulate the radio spectrum designated or allocated for use by broadcasting organisations and providers of broadcasting services”; “… determine technical and other standards and issue guidelines for the operation of broadcasting organisations …” “… may adopt policies to cater for rural communities and for this purpose may waive fees wholly or in part for the grant of a frequency authorisation”. The Broadcasting service is a communication service in which the transmissions are intended for direct reception by the general public. The sound broadcasting service involves the broadcasting of sound which may be accompanied by associated text/data. Sound broadcasting is currently deployed in Ghana using analogue transmission techniques: Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). Over the last two decades, AM sound broadcasting has faded, leaving FM radio as the only form of sound broadcasting in Ghana. FM radio broadcasting stations are classified for the purpose of regulatory administration of the service towards the attainment of efficient use of frequency. The following is the classification of FM radio broadcasting stations in Ghana. (1) Classification by Purpose: a) Public – all stations owned and operated by the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) and/or any other station established by the Government of Ghana by a statutory enactment. b) Public Foreign – stations established by Foreign Governments through diplomatic arrangements to rebroadcast/relay content from foreign countries e.g.

Assin Citrus Farmers Association Introduces Hydroponic System in Ghana with Support from Fairtrade Africa
Assin Citrus Farmers Association introduces hydroponic system in Ghana with support from Fairtrade Africa Fairtrade certified producer organisation, Assin Citrus Farmers Association has launched a hydroponic system that will allow the cooperative to have all year-round cultivation of vegetables (leaf lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers etc.) alongside the production of citrus. The unveiling ceremony was held at Assin Fosu in the Central Region of Ghana in the presence of the Municipal Agric Directorate and Central Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the Ridol Hydroponic System Centre and the Ghana Association of Agro-input dealers. The system was procured through funding from Fairtrade Recover Africa fund supported by the German government through GIZ. The Recover Africa project seeks to support farmers to build economic resilience through alternative livelihoods, in the context of the global pandemic. Prior to the unveiling ceremony, there was a training and demonstration to fifty-two (52) producers from various Fairtrade Africa Producer Organizations on the use of the system in helping to increase farmer yields and income. Ridol Hydroponic system is a technology that enables hydroponic farming, a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil by regulating the composition of nutrients in the liquid solution used to water the plants. The farmer also regulates the frequency of supplying the nutrients to the plants. One set has been mounted for farmer demonstration and training at the municipal agricultural directorate. The other 3 hydroponic sets will plant approximately a quarter of an acre, in this way, creating optimisation on land usage.
