This project aims to enhance Kwame Nkrumah University of Sciences and Technology (KNUST) capacity to address the root causes and outcomes of poor natural resource management. The University of Guelph gives a hand to KNUST to enhance livelihoods of resource-poor communities in Ghana. The project includes many activities such as the development and launching of an institutional strategic plan and the development of curriculum for a bachelor's of technology program. In addition, Ghanaian professionals have access to training for men and women as agro-forestry technologists for entry-level careers in public and private sector agencies. Finally, policies are developed in the country and are enhanced during the project.
