Toolkit for tackling corruption and unacceptable practices in the forest sector of Ghana
Ghana - 2011
Language: English
This toolkit for combating corruption and unacceptable practices in the forest sector of Ghana has been developed drawing heavily on outcomes of multi-stakeholder consultations and field experiences. The document has been produced to enhance the watch-dog role of forest stakeholders as a means of strengthening law enforcement in the sector. It discusses the nature and elements of corruption and unacceptable practices, the causes and consequences and presents the toolkit, which consists of several different tools. The document suggests possible stakeholders that may be best placed to implement the prescriptions. Any toolkit is as good as the extent to which it is applied; it would therefore be very helpful if stakeholder groups could, to the extent possible, incorporate the recommended tools in their normal work plans. In some cases, however, extra resources may be required to implement the recommended tools. Forest managers and civil society groups including forest communities may particularly benefit from the toolkit.
