Ghana: sustainable jobs contribute to harmony

The dry, remote areas of northern Ghana have long been plagued by tribal conflicts, social upheaval, food insecurity, high illiteracy rates, widespread poverty and environmental degradation.

In view of these challenges, Friends of the Earth Ghana set up a project called ‘Peaceful and Sustainable Development’ aimed at creating sustainable and meaningful local employment.
