The objective of the NAMA is to improve the sustainability of the charcoal value chain.
Activities:
As part of its developmental aspiration, Ghana seeks to make “modern cooking fuels” (e.g. cooking gas) accessible to its people. Ghana recognizes the need to tackle its charcoal challenge and has prioritized efficient cookstoves as one of the five sectors for NAMA development.
A NAMA study has been carried out by MDG Carbon to guide Ghana to develop NAMAs along the charcoal value chain, i.e. forest management, production, trade and final consumption. This study aims to view the charcoal value chain holistically and to provide an overview of the country-specific conditions and actions required under a “Sustainable Charcoal NAMA”. It proposes improvements that must be made in the formalization of the sector through establishment of a Charcoal Unit, a Charcoal Fund, co-operatives, eco-labelling and awareness creation that can allow government programmes to reach out and encourage private sector participation.
