Discussions opened with a focus on strengthening the ReCircle Ghana working group. Members emphasized the need for a guiding framework to clearly define the group’s purpose, structure, and direction.
Complementing this was the call for well-defined selection criteria to ensure a transparent and structured membership process. Together, these tools are expected to shape a more coordinated and accountable working group.
Both the guiding framework and selection criteria will be developed and shared with members for review and input. Following this process, interested individuals will confirm their participation, reinforcing commitment and active engagement within the group.
A significant part of the meeting focused on preparations toward the Climate Forward Summit by Implementers Ghana Members explored strategies for building an effective awareness campaign and identified opportunities to engage the public ahead of the summit.
While several ideas were proposed for both pre- and post-summit engagement, priority was given to activities that could generate momentum in the lead-up to the event.
These initiatives are intended to increase visibility, drive public interest, and position the network as an active force within Ghana’s circular economy space.
The meeting also featured a presentation on ecosystem analysis and the broader entrepreneurial landscape. Members were invited to contribute additional insights to refine and finalize the analysis, ensuring it reflects the realities and opportunities within the sector.
To support this process, a feedback form was shared, alongside discussions to improve the working group application form. It was agreed that revisions would be made after the guiding framework and selection criteria are finalized.
As ReCircle Ghana steps into 2026, the outcomes of this first meeting signal a shift from dialogue to intentional structure and coordinated action.
