Towards the Establishment of Baselines for VPA Impact Monitoring in Ghana.

Our project entitled “Towards the Establishment of Baselines for VPA Impact Monitoring in Ghana” (EBIM), kindly funded by the EU FAO FLEGT Programme, has developed a set of indicators and a baseline against which future changes in forest governance can be measured. The report contains the baseline and indicators that civil society, the government and other stakeholders can use to monitor for changes towards good governance.
