Sustainable Land and Water Management

closed

The objective of the Sustainable Land and Water Management Project for Ghana will improve the livelihoods of farmers and communities by promoting sustainable land management technologies, and innovative policy and financing mechanisms that increase agricultural productivity while generating ecosystem services. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is capacity building for integrated spatial planning. This component will provide integrated spatial planning tools to strengthen the capacity of Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) and relevant implementing agencies to guide and undertake decision-making for investment across the northern savannah region. The second component of the project is water and land management. This component would fund technical assistance, equipment, incremental operating costs, and direct incentives to support community flood and land management at the micro-watershed level, including both management of agricultural land and ecological infrastructure. And the third component of the project is project management and coordination. This component will support technical assistance, operating costs and where necessary equipment for incremental project management and coordination activities.
