Welcome! 

Thank you for visiting the Protected Areas and Poverty Reduction: A Canada-Africa Research and Learning Alliance website!   This partnership brings together universities, non-governmental agencies, government agencies, and communities across Canada, Ghana and Tanzania.  It aims to address challenges of reducing rural poverty and ensuring environmental sustainability by focusing on protected areas and their adjacent communities in the three countries. 



This project is funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
