World Vision commended for combating desertification in Upper East
Yameriga (U/E), June 23, GNA – World Vision International has been commended for contributing to combat desertification at the Talensi-Nabdam District of the Upper East Region.
The Upper East Deputy Regional Minister, Mrs. Lucy Awuni, made the commendation during an open Day on “World Vision Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration” (FMNR) Project held at Yameriga a farming community in the Talensi-Nabdam District organized by World Vision.
Under the World Vision FMNR Project, shrubs and tree stumps that grow naturally are pruned and protected from bush fires to grow into trees.
The project, which was started by World Vision in nine communities in the Talensi-Nabdam two years ago, is based on the natural regeneration and management of trees to produce continuous harvest for fuel wood, building materials, food and fodder.
