The Project, which was piloted in 2021 in Bowkrom in the Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly of the Eastern Region in Ghana, was in collaboration with Nature 4 Climate – a conglomerate of 19 global climate-focused organizations, If-Not-Us-Then-Who (a US-based organization) and the Environmental Protection Agency of Ghana. DUAPA rides on the use a mobile application originally used for mountain biking to track and monitor growth of medicinal seedlings planted by community indigenous youth. The intent is to Monitor, Report and Verify (MRV) changes in degraded lands through the capture of aerial views with drones. YBF’s DUAPA is the first African country to benefit from this technology transfer directly from Tom Berwick and the N4C.
