Synopsis (short abstract) The goal of the FAO/GEF Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA) project is to improve the ecological health of the project landscape, including the elephant corridor and the wellbeing of the communities within the area. This document includes a Monitoring Protocol and Manual to serve as a guide for training fringing community members and local forestry staff to monitor the impacts of the project being implemented in both Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire. The Monitoring Protocol is described in terms of the type of audience, data collection methods, analysis and presentation of data, the type of personnel and the plan for the various activities of the project. It further details out the methods for gathering data on the key outcomes of the project. The final part of the Protocol provides information on analysis of data collected, its management and communication of the results.

    The current management plan of the Bia-Diambarakro trans-frontier conservation area (TFCA) is the framework of the “Project of Development of a Transfrontier Conservation Area Linking Forest Reserves and Protected Areas in Ghana and Côte-d’Ivoire” implemented by FAO with the GEF’s financial support. It is meant for all actors interested in the sustainable management of the mentioned area and specifically to the governments of Côte-d’Ivoire and Ghana; state institutions, regional and local authorities, local communities, international conservation support agencies and organisations, NGOs and civil society, research and educational institutions and private economic operators. This is an important marketing tool for advocacy and seeking of necessary technical and financial supports. It has been developed following a participatory approach under the leadership of an International Expert in protected area management commissioned by FAO . The main stakeholder groups participated in almost all the process steps including the data collection and analysis, the critical review of drafts of the management plan and its approval at the steering committee meeting of 9th November in Sefwi-Wiawso, Western Region-Ghana. The exploitation of recommendations of this meeting enables finalising of the management plan and producing the final document in English and French. Additionally, to the introduction, the present document comprises five broad sections, namely: Description of Bia-Diambarakro TFCA, considerations for management, management measures, implementation mechanisms and monitoring, evaluation and revision of the management plan.
