CURRENT PROJECTS OUR PROJECTS
PDA conducted a country study on modern day slavery (MDS) in Ghana, focusing on mapping the coverage, cost, impact, and effectiveness of existing responses and interventions. The study involved extensive literature review and a series of interviews with stakeholders from government, civil society, and Ghanaian industries, culminating in a consultative workshop with over 30 representatives.
This workshop examined the intersections of migration, climate, and environmental change in Ghana. Bringing together national and international experts, government officials, policy makers, civil society representatives, and academics, the workshop aimed to inform policy dialogue and practical responses to migration challenges in the context of global environmental change.
PDA co-facilitated a two-day stakeholder workshop for IUCN and WEDO, gathering women organizations, gender experts, and policy makers from the forestry and environment sectors. The participatory sessions generated key insights that formed the basis of a Road Map aimed at integrating gender considerations into Ghana’s REDD+ processes.
This workshop addressed the challenges of integrating small-holders into commercial agriculture in Ghana. By assessing the pros and cons of large-scale farming and socially inclusive models, the workshop aimed to propose initial principles that would inform the design of a World Bank-financed commercial agriculture project geared toward avoiding enclave investments.
Commissioned by The World Bank, this research analyzed the complex interconnections between poverty, environment, gender, and infrastructure in Ghana. The study sought to understand local perceptions of the gender-poverty-environment nexus and its interaction with infrastructure and sustainable development initiatives, aiming to identify ways to transform negative linkages into positive outcomes.
