About
Quick Impact Agency
[ Who we are ]
QIA is a non-governmental organization established in Berlin, Germany, with the aim to restore and revive damaged ecosystems and build thriving communities.
[ Our vision ]
We envision a world where humans and nature live in harmony and symbiotic relationship with one another. A place of economic prosperity, healthy ecosystems and progressive cooperative communities. A place where we all live consciously.
[ Secured land, Western North Region ]
[ Who runs it ]
Three people, two countries
Restoration projects are judged on whether the people running them can deliver. These are ours, and where each of them sits.

Born and professionally established in the project area. Twenty years in Ghana’s cocoa sector and an Audit Committee member of Juaboso District Assembly.
QIA Ghana is directed by Nana Danso Asare, a paramount chief of the area. He takes no personal share of carbon revenue; stool revenue goes to the Lands Commission Stool Land Account under Article 267 of Ghana’s constitution.
[ How QIA is structured ]
Two entities, one organisation
Money is raised and audited in Germany. It is spent by a Ghanaian entity, staffed by Ghanaians, based in the region where the work happens.
Berlin, Germany

Sefwi Bekwai, Western North Region
QIA Ghana
- Established and operating in the region where the projects are
- Directed by Nana Danso Asare, a paramount chief of the area, not an appointee from Berlin

Where a donation goes
- 01You give in euro
- 02QIA e.V. receives and accounts for it in Berlin
- 03Funds transfer to QIA Ghana
- 04Spent on the ground in Western North
This is deliberate. A Berlin association cannot credibly run a Ghanaian project by remote control, and funders are right to ask why so many do.
