Elmina

Old Dutch slave fortresses in Elmina were restored and alongside the restoration some sustainable developments took place: the set up of a tourist office in Elmina in one of the buildings, plus an employment project in order to keep the buildings well maintained. This meant an increase in tourism, a revival of traditional culture and skills, an increasing demand for local products and thus improved living conditions. It is highly illustrated with beautiful pictures by Nana Kofi Acqua. It is published in co-operation with Urban Solutions, Rotterdam with support by the European Commission.
