AMH at 2-Day Agroforestry Workshop in Accra, Ghana – Hosted by Netherlands Embassy
AMH ONLINE joined a 2-day Agroforestry Workshop in Accra, hosted by the Netherlands Embassy and Enterprise Agency.
We’re excited to share that the Africa Moringa Hub (AMH ONLINE) was proudly represented at the recently concluded Ghana Agroforestry Multi-Stakeholder Workshop, held from May 20–21, 2025, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra. This impactful two-day event was hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and brought together an inspiring mix of policymakers, agroforestry advocates, and environmental leaders working towards a more sustainable future for Ghana.
Uniting Voices for Sustainable Land Use
The workshop served as a platform for collaboration and forward thinking. In attendance were top representatives from the Forestry Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Tree Crop Development Authority, and the Office of the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability—alongside several NGOs and civil society actors.
Our AMH ONLINE delegation included Eva Lydeking, Joshua Haruna, George Zokli, Dormenyo, and Raymond. Eva took the lead as our spokesperson and wowed participants with a powerful 12-minute presentation focused on solution-based policies for agroforestry. Her presentation sparked meaningful dialogue around practical, actionable strategies—highlighting AMH’s deep commitment to real-world impact.
Making Sure the Moringa Voice is Heard
During discussions around the formation of a technical team to help shape new agroforestry policy, AMH ONLINE nominated Eva Lydeking and Dormenyo. We’re hopeful that one of them will be selected, ensuring that moringa—often called the “miracle tree”—has a strong voice at the government level.
Building Bridges with Decision-Makers
On the final day of the workshop, our team had a dedicated 30-minute session with officials from the Ministry of Climate Change and the Tree Crop Development Authority. The conversation focused on the commercial potential of moringa—a fast-growing, nutrient-rich tree that’s gaining recognition for its role in sustainable agriculture and climate resilience.
Both officials expressed strong interest in moringa’s market value. One memorable moment came when a Tree Crop Development Authority representative shared his experience of tasting moringa tea and powder produced by Kormi Nutsugah Dzago, one of our very own AMH ONLINE members and a contributor to the Moringa City Talk Telegram group.
What’s Next?
Thanks to the initiative of Eva and George, it was agreed that AMH ONLINE would prepare a formal document outlining policy proposals and commercial pathways for moringa development in Ghana. This important step positions AMH as a key player in national agroforestry strategy and advocacy.
Moving Forward Together
The Ghana Agroforestry Multi-Stakeholder Workshop marked an important milestone for AMH ONLINE—and for the future of agroforestry in Ghana. We’re energized by the new connections made, the progress toward inclusive policy, and the opportunity to keep pushing forward with purpose.
