Training Asumura Cocoa Landscape CREMA Stakeholders on Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) in Ghana

Catholic Pastoral Centre, Goaso, Ghana

The Nature Conservation Research Centre (NCRC) and Forest Trends’ Communities and Markets Initiative organized the workshop “Training Asumura Cocoa Landscape CREMA Stakeholders on Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) in Ghana” held in Goaso, Ghana, on April 18 – 20, 2013. The workshop was generously supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD).

The objective of this workshop was to introduce the ideas of ecosystem services and payments for ecosystem services to stakeholders from the two CREMAs, so that they may begin a process of reflection and debate regarding the possibility of developing a PES project in their areas.
