| Objective: |
| Many studies have recommended
that one of the challenging issues confronting forest-policy
and management in Ghana is how to deal with conflicts in the
use and management of forest resources. This has been necessitated
by the fact that conflict has characterised, and continues to
characterise, forestry in Ghana. The research aims at studying
forest-based conflicts in Ghana with the view to making appropriate
scientific and policy recommendations to provide options for
effective stakeholder conflict management and stakeholder collaboration.
The outputs will be useful to policy makers and forest managers
in providing a tool for the management of conflicts in policy
and management decisions that will pro-actively prevent potential
conflict scenarios. |
| Output: |
|
Concrete outputs are expected to be:
- Insight in the dimensions and dynamics of forest-based
conflicts, the design and implementation of conflict interventions’
and the perceptions of stakeholders on forest-based conflict
and conflict management in Ghana;
- Options for managing forest-based conflicts in Ghana developed
and communicated to relevant scientists, policy makers and
stakeholders in Ghana and abroad;
- A Ghanaian scientist trained to the PhD level.
