2, NGO Conservation Foundation, NGO Blue Ventures As with Shama district, this focal area remains central in landscape governance, but also hosts a
pilot site for integrated resource governance and sustainable livelihood implementation.
The largely undeveloped coast line possesses a series of pocket beaches where low-key guest houses and tourism facilities have been established. Large economic forces, including oil and
gas exploration and production, new proposals for large scale coastal tourism investments, continuing expansion of rubber and oil palm plantations and outgrowing, and recent proposals to
extract gold from numerous sites in these same areas around the perimeter of Cape Three Points Forest, have appeared as major challenges to any assumption that coastal development will be
gradual and gentle in its use of the focal area’s natural resources and existing businesses and settlements.
A major emphasis in the remaining two years of the project will be to examine conditions at selected landing beaches and define how the enabling conditions may be strengthened for
improving the manner in which the infrastructure and services required to receive, process and ship a highly perishable product may be put in place. This requires spatial planning in a context
of climate change and strengthening the capacity of local governance systems to resolve conflicts and meet increasing demand for shorefront space from competing industries.
In Year 2, CRC-Ghana and its partners expanded their engagement with leaders and stakeholders in Ahanta West to learn about and provide input on ongoing development planning work,
especially the spatial planning effort led by a consortium of Korean organizations. An experienced professional volunteer assessed the capacity of villages in the vicinity of Cape Three
Points forest to establish and carry out community resource management areas CREMA which
