Advancing through the stages of our Ghana use case, we’ve now entered the third phase of the DPPD method. Initially, we pinpointed positive deviants among communities in North Ghana, maintaining or increasing tree cover. In the subsequent stage, we utilized remote sensing data to categorize and identify these communities based on fluctuations in the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) over the span of 2018 to 2023. As we prepare for stage three, the fieldwork, we’ve conducted a preliminary validation process using satellite imagery to assess potential factors contributing to positive deviance amidst deforestation pressures in the project area. Stay tuned for further developments.
