The overall objective of the project is to establish the basis for community driven natural resource management, co-management of protected areas, and fair and equitable sharing of benefits through development and implementation of natural resource management plans for Dhekuana lands, including alternative food production and income-generating activities to help address increased needs of a fast growing community.

The project objective is to enhance mobility and affordability of bus transport services in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA) in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner. The project would focus on: (a) strengthening policy, institutional, and regulatory framework for managing, coordinating, planning and monitoring urban transport services in GAMA; (b) facilitating person movement on major corridors through a combination of traffic management and implementation of bus rapid transport (BRT) system; and (c) monitoring and evaluation of local and global environmental benefits.

The overall objective of the Cogen for Africa project is to help transform the cogeneration industry in Eastern and Southern Africa into a profitable cogeneration market and promote widespread implementation of more efficient cogeneration systems by removing barriers to their application.
