Civil society in Ghana plays an important role in REDD+ processes through advocacy, capacity building, consultation, networking, and research. Some key activities include lobbying the government and donors for a holistic REDD+ approach that focuses on forest governance and community rights. Civil society organizations also build capacity among policymakers, media, each other, and local communities about REDD+ through workshops. They further consultation and participation by providing feedback and organizing stakeholders. Challenges include technical issues distracting from governance, while opportunities lie in ongoing reforms. Overall, civil society's role is to help Ghana achieve reduced emissions through improved forest governance, planning, and enforcement.
