Forest plantation management and reforestation across central Ghana
Form Ghana operates a reforestation business in central Ghana's degraded forest reserves, running on a surprisingly analog tech stack (Tally ERP9, Excel, ArcGIS, QGIS) despite managing land-scale operations. Active projects around forest management software implementation and GIS-based internet applications signal internal frustration with current tooling; paired with hiring across ops, security, and finance roles, the company is scaling compliance and carbon-tracking infrastructure to support a first-mover PPP model with Ghana's forestry regulator.
