Raising and nurturing 95,187 shea seedlings and 17,638 non-shea seedlings. The core goals of GSLERP are to curb forest loss through sustainable land stewardship, promote inclusive economic participation by advancing the role of women in the shea sector, and optimize value chain systems by improving infrastructure, aggregation, and access to markets.

Additionally, the project supports land restoration and climate adaptation efforts that increase ecological resilience, while contributing to Ghana’s nationally determined climate targets under the Paris Agreement GSLERP is implemented through a multi-stakeholder partnership led by the Forestry Commission of Ghana, with support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), UNDP, Global Shea Alliance (GSA), Private sector partners and NGO’s

This milestone marks a significant contribution to Ghana’s national reforestation efforts, climate resilience, and sustainable land management goals. By delivering a diverse mix of native tree, and agroforestry species, Ad Charis is playing a vital role in restoring degraded savannah landscapes and reviving shea parklands across the project zones.

The Foundation’s achievement is rooted in a robust seedling production strategy that emphasized quality control, community engagement, and ecological sustainability. Working closely with trained youth groups at our local nurseries, Ad Charis ensured that all seedlings met rigorous standards for viability and adaptability. These efforts have enhanced survival rates post-transplanting and laid a strong foundation for long-term forest regeneration, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity recovery in northern Ghana.
