The delegation, led by the Director of UNU-INRA, Dr. Richard Munang, engaged the GoldBod management on measures to protect and restore Ghana’s environment, particularly in areas affected by mining activities.
During the engagement, GoldBod highlighted some of its ongoing environmental interventions aimed at restoring degraded ecosystems and supporting communities affected by environmental degradation.
Among the initiatives cited was the reclamation of 50 hectares of degraded land in the Tano Nimri Forest Reserve, as well as the rehabilitation of three Ghana Water Limited treatment plants.
The rehabilitation of the treatment plants is expected to support access to potable water for more than 76 communities and approximately 100,000 people.
Dr. Richard Munang commended GoldBod for its environmental restoration efforts and expressed the institute’s interest in strengthening collaboration to promote sustainable natural resource management in Ghana.
Mr. Richard Nunekpeku welcomed further engagement with UNU-INRA, stressing the importance of partnerships in advancing shared environmental sustainability objectives.
The meeting forms part of efforts by both institutions to explore practical approaches to environmental restoration and sustainable natural resource management, while contributing to the protection of Ghana’s ecosystems and the wellbeing of affected communities.
