Tree Aid

Established in 1987, Tree Aid is a UK‐based international development organization working in the African drylands to tackle poverty and enhance the environment. In West Africa, Tree Aid supports projects in Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, and Niger.
Its West Africa office is located in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and its programme of work focuses on four areas:
(i) agroforestry and natural resources management (NRM);
(ii) forest governance;
(iii) enterprise development and trade; and
(iv) food security and nutrition.
Tree Aid’s work on NRM includes subcatchment NRM management. In Ghana, for instance, it has supported water buffering and restoration of riverbank under the framework of the Bongo River Trees Project.
As part of Tree Aid’s approach to delivering long term, sustainable impact, it works closely with policy makers, governments, and local authorities.
Tree Aid will be leading WP 1 (subcatchment‐level NRM) with the support of the Burkina Faso National Agency for Integrated Water and Resources Management and WP 8 (policy analysis & influencing) in collaboration with the other DRYDEV Burkina Faso partners and ICRAF.
