Strengthening Off-Reserve Timber Resource Management in Ghana

---

The future of off-reserve timber resources in Ghana is uncertain. Off-reserve timber production decreased from 95 million m3 - representing 80 percent of the totally harvested volume - in 1996 to 37 million m3 - 30 percent of the harvested volume - in 2005. Existing legislation and implementation do not provide adequate incentives for stakeholders, especially farmers, to engage in sustainable practices. TBI Ghana, with support from Care International Ghana, and in collaboration with the Danish Centre for Forest, Landscape and Planning, organised the workshop, "Timber Resources outside Forest Reserves: is there a Future? in September 2007 to find appropriate strategies to strengthen the management of timber resources.
