Résumé
The forest sector in Ghana is the fourth largest foreign exchange earner for the country. The main contributor is the formal forest sub-sector, consisting of regulated industries in timber and timber products. The informal sub-sector, characterised by small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs), has been largely left out in forest planning and management even though it represents an income source for about 3 million people. This report reviews the status of SMFEs in Ghana. It provides information on the various issues the sector confronts, and identifies mechanisms for harnessing the potential of SMFEs to effectively contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable forest management in Ghana.
