A pilot study on the bamboo project in Ghana: local bamboo stocks and their owners are identified and included in the project planning. There is great interest and enthusiasm for the project!

The “Bamboo Farmers Association” is founded, which offers bamboo farmers and other project participants a platform for exchange and networking.

In order to expand the network in the local bamboo sector, we meet with the head of the Ghana office of the International Bamboo and Rattan Organization (INBAR), Mr. Michael Kwaku. With his wealth of knowledge and experience in the bamboo sector, he provides further valuable input for the project.
