Current Long-Term Projects

Our long term projects are those that take over a year to implement. Below are out current long term projects that we are working on.  

Sustainable management of Lake Bosomtwe:  Lake Bosomtwe is gradually becoming one of the most threatened natural sites in Ghana. The main objectives of A Rocha’s project regarding Lake Bosomtwe are to explore and create means for alternative livelihoods in surrounding communties.

Community Evangelism, Health, and Conservation Program (COEVAHCOP): This program aims to further the objective of increasing spiritual, socio-economic, and environmental benefits through elevated community attitudinal change. A Rocha Ghana, in partnership with A Rocha Knust (a student wing of A Rocha Ghana), adopted this innovative approach of reaching out to total communities and vulnerable groups by engendering Christian and spiritual virtues, environmental values, and positive healthy life styles.

Savannaland Destination Tourism Programme

The Savannaland Desination Tourism programme focuses on increasing tourism in Northern Ghana. The goal is to support fringe communities of Mole and Bui National Parks, promote eco-tourism, and ensure the conservation of wildlife, cultural heritage, and traditions in Northern Ghana.

Village Tree Enterprise

The Ghana Village Tree Enterprise seeks to improve the economic situation of disadvantaged households in the Northern Savannah regions. A Rocha's Village Tree Enterprise project aims to help at least 200 individuals to establish of expand their small enterprises, based on the sustainable harvesting and processing of tree products.

Climate Stewards: Since 1957, 75% of Ghana’s trees have been cut down for the timber export trade, to increase the area available for cocoa cultivation, or simply for firewood. In response to this disturbing trend, A Rocha Ghana partnered with the Climate Stewards project in 2007 to coordinate a small-scale tree planting programme throughout our network of schools, university groups, and rural communities.

Local Schools Eco-Program: Information coming soon

Education Clubs:

During the dry season, groups of children in Northern Ghana commonly skip school for the excitement of setting fire to the scrub and clubbing the animals as they rush out.  By creating environmental clubs at local schools, A Rocha aims to stop the bush burning and instill in the children a desire to protect their unique but fragile ecosystem.

Territoy Conservation Management: Information coming soon.
