Civic Response, with funding from Fern, through the Forest Governance, Markets and Climate (FGMC) programme organised a training for a cross section of media personnel from across the country to develop a team of media personnel who would be interested in using the knowledge and skills to improve investigative journalism and media reportage in the natural resource environment and governance sector. Below is a report of the training.

The Ghana Timber Transparency Portal is a web application which is linked to the Ghana Wood Tracking System (GWTS). This public portal is the gateway to the GWTS and forest management in Ghana. The portal was designed, as part of the Civil Society-led Independent Forest Monitoring (CSIFM) Ghana Project, to provide information for both passive and active monitoring of the issuance of credible, transparent, and acceptable FLEGT licence through improvement in access to timely, accurate, and relevant information. The portal can be accessed via this url: https://www.ghanatimbertransparency.info

This manual gives instructions on how to access and use the portal. The CSIFM-Ghana Project was implemented by Civic Response through the FAO FLEGT Programme with funding from the European Union, Swedish International Cooperation Agency and the United Kingdom Department for International Development.

The greatest milestone of the Project though was the building and launching of the Ghana Timber Transparency Portal; a public portal that provides access to information on logging in Ghana. The portal can be accessed by all stakeholders both in and beyond Ghana in real time via the url: www.ghanatimbertransparency.info.
