In collaboration with Ghana National Fire Service Nandom Division – over 200-antibush fire volunteers has been trained and equipped with basic firefighting equipment to prevent bushfires in five (5) communities.

The platform also held a district stakeholders forum to sensitize them on the need to develop and ratify bye-laws on bushfires in the Nandom District. Stakeholders were very impressed with the move and sanctioned the platform to undertake the formulation of the bye-laws which will later be ratified at the District Assembly. Thus the formulation is ongoing in five communities.
