FoE Ghana: Mobilizing Local Action Against the Keta Oil Block Project

• FoE Ghana is working on Ghana’s Keta Oil Block Project and its threat to the Keta Lagoon Complex Ramsar Site. They have built on their campaign by holding a media briefing to create awareness of the project. This was a start of the work on the Just Recovery Media Network that is dedicated to promoting environmental, social, gender, economic justice and sustainable recovery.

• Another key event was a CSO meeting to create awareness of the oil project. The CSO Forum is important to mobilize key stakeholders and to build networks. This meeting included participation from a number of key CSOs in Ghana including: Centre for Natural Resources and Environmental Management (CNREM), Abibiman Foundation, Young Volunteers for Environment, Friends of the Nation, AbibiNsoroma, OilWatch Ghana and GROC (350.org).
