It currently has programmes running in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali and Niger. Areas of Tree Aid's work include forest governance, natural resource management, food security and nutrition, and enterprise development. Tree Aid reported in their annual impact report 2019/20, that since 1987 it had grown 22 million trees, worked with 1.8 million people, and supported 36,350 people in enterprise groups. Tree Aid's work growing trees, and restoring and protecting land is contributing to the Great Green Wall Sahara and Sahel Initiative, which is an African Union-led movement of 21 countries with the ambition to grow 8,000 km of trees, spanning from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east. In 2017, Tree Aid partnered with the search engine Ecosia, on a project to support communities to restore land and plant trees along the Daka river in Ghana. (en)
