The European Union has committed €2.4 million to back four forest restoration initiatives across Ghana, in a move aimed at strengthening conservation efforts and expanding green infrastructure. The funding will support reforestation, sustainable forest management, and community-led restoration projects, according to a statement shared by Citi Newsroom.
Through the grant programme, local districts will receive support to rehabilitate degraded landscapes, plant native trees, and build community capacity for long-term forest stewardship. By targeting both ecological restoration and socio-economic participation, the EU says the projects can generate lasting environmental benefits while also improving livelihoods in rural areas.
The funding aligns with Ghana’s broader climate ambitions and its commitment to international frameworks for forest conservation and carbon sequestration. With global demand for climate action rising, the EU-Ghana partnership underscores growing confidence in Ghana’s ability to deliver green development.
This support will also help Ghana contribute to the EU’s broader climate goals under the European Green Deal, as well as international efforts to reduce deforestation, restore ecosystems, and promote sustainable land use in vulnerable regions.
