Caring today for a greener tomorrow.

Green Stewardship International (GSI) is an environmental non-governmental organization motivated by the Christian principle of stewardship. We believe that caring for the environment is essentially caring for our neighbours, ourselves and our common future.

About Us

THE STORY OF GSI started in 2015, when Yaw Yeboah and his wife Josefin Egerlid Yeboah visited Yaw’s home country Ghana. They were troubled by the environmental problems they saw: from deforestation and degraded landscapes due to uncontrolled mining, to pollution by plastic bags and toxic smoke from burning garbage.

A VISION WAS BORN to start an environmental organization named Green Stewardship International (GSI): green for the environment, stewardship because it was standing on the biblical mandate to care for God’s creation, and international as Yaw and Josefin were envisioning a movement that would eventually spread beyond Ghana.

TODAY GSI IS BLESSED with an eminent team of Stewards who are contributing to making the vision a reality. Click below to learn more about our core values and to meet our Board, Management Team and Advisors.

Our vision

A world where every development activity is done with care for people and their environment

OUR FOCUS (01)

Landscape Restoration & Governance

Together with valued partners such as the Global Landscape Forum Bawku Chapter, we are actively engaged in a range of initiatives focused on sustainable environmental practices.

Specifically, our work encompasses comprehensive mapping exercises, dedicated stakeholder engagement, and crucial capacity-building initiatives. These efforts are centered around key areas including effective seed sourcing, successful tree planting, diligent tree tracking, and robust monitoring and evaluation processes.

OUR FOCUS (02)

Green Skills & Environmental Awareness Program (GSAP)

We support dialogues and policy actions focused on the monitoring and accountability of Climate Funds. Our key conversations center on enhancing opportunities for subnational and local input in project design, information-sharing practices, and transparency. Additionally, we aim to improve coordination and strengthen local accountability mechanisms to track financial flows.

OUR FOCUS (03)

Sustainable livelihoods in Mining Communities

 Our engagement focuses on policy dialogues addressing critical issues within mining communities. Specifically, we discuss unsustainable mining practices, accountability in the use of mining proceeds, and the vital concerns of gender and child rights within these communities. These dialogues aim to foster solutions and promote more responsible and equitable mining operations.

OUR FOCUS (04)

Monitoring of Climate Funds

We support dialogues and policy actions focused on the monitoring and accountability of Climate Funds. Our key conversations center on enhancing opportunities for subnational and local input in project design, information-sharing practices, and transparency. Additionally, we aim to improve coordination and strengthen local accountability mechanisms to track financial flows.

OUR FOCUS (04)

Data-driven approach to environmental stewardship

GSI believes that timely and reliable access to comprehensive environmental data is essential for informed policymaking and sustainable development. We advocate for enhancing the usability and accessibility of this critical information.

We call for data harmonization across government agencies to ensure consistency and comparability. We also emphasize improved data sharing between state and non-state actors to foster collaboration. We stress the necessity of high data quality for accuracy and trustworthiness and call for increased investment in data infrastructure. Finally, we believe integrating citizen data initiatives into national frameworks will enrich the dataset and empower communities.
