The European Forest Institute (EFI) is inviting applications to support efforts to increase forest cover in Ghana with the ambition that the grant scheme as a whole contributes to restore 5 000 hectares.

In doing so the grant scheme should also develop capacity of farmers and rural people to restore degraded forest landscapes with the ambition that the grant scheme as a whole will reach 20 000 individual farmers.
