Okyeame Kwame Is EnABLE Ambassador For World Bank, Others

Okyeame Kwame 

Decorated Ghanaian musician, Okyeame Kwame, has been made EnABLE ambassador with World Bank, Solidaridad, REDD+, Forestry Commission and Tropenbos as partners.

The Enhancing Access to Benefits while Lowering Emissions (EnABLE) project in Ghana will complement the Emissions Reduction Programme and provide direct support to groups or constituencies that are excluded or likely to be excluded from the distribution of carbon and non-carbon benefits.

The project is implemented by Solidaridad in partnership with Tropenbos Ghana across six Hotspot Intervention Areas (HIAs) in Ghana, with funding from the World Bank. Solidaridad will work in Ahafo-Ano, Sefwi-Wiawso/Bibiani, and Kakum HIAs, whilst Tropenbos focuses on Juaboso-Bia, Atiwa and Asutifi-Asunafo HIAs.

Okyeame Kwame has been selected because of his active engagement in climate change and environmental issues in Ghana and internationally.

As part of his roles, Okyeame Kwame will compose a dedicated EnABLE song and jingles, which will be used to support climate finance benefit sharing inclusivity.

In that vein, he will also engage communities in inclusivity awareness creation and help amplify the voices of the marginalised in climate finance interventions.

The musician has also engaged on a similar project, the DGM Project, where he used his following and public influence to support awareness creation on climate change and sustainable land use.

It is expected that with this background, Okyeame is very well positioned to contribute to awareness creation on inclusive climate finance benefit sharing.

The marginalised people in the major cocoa growing areas where the Ghana Cocoa Forest REDD+ Programme was implemented, particularly women, youth, migrants and disabled will benefit from this project.

Okyeame Kwame, over the years, has used his voice as an instrument of change and advocacy for many projects, and he is expected to impact lives with this project.
