Sustainable Development
Through partnerships, the Foundation has introduced activities to enhance the socio-economic wellbeing of rural communities. It provides potable water to rural communities through solar-assisted mechanized boreholes. It is engaged in a 5-year project that empowers small-scale rice farmers in Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Tanzania.
In Ghana the Foundation advocates for the preservation of biodiversity and is assisting the development of “national biodiversity guidelines” through stakeholder consultative processes. For sustainable development in Africa, the Foundation is initiating the establishment of the Africa Climate Leadership Center to build the capacity of the public and private sectors to apply the best and latest thinking on climate-compatible development.
