Has the Global Environmental Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Global Environmental Objective (If project is formally restructured) To expand the area under sustainable land and water management practices in selected watersheds.

The project continued demonstrating impressive progress on implementation of the core SLWM activities through sub-projects. This is a multi-sectoral project implemented successfully through four sectors i.e Environment, Forestry/ Wildlife, Agriculture and Local Government and coordinated by the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation. The governance structures at all levels to facilitate effective project implementation (Project Steering Committee {at the National Level}, Local Steering Committee, Technical Coordination Office {at the Regional Level}, District Watershed Planning Teams, Community Watershed Management Teams, Community Resource Management Committees, CREMA Executive Committees) are in place and functioning. Over the project lifetime, over 4500 sub-projects benefiting 14,109 farmers have been supported with inputs and are currently being implemented by farmer groups in 118 communities covering 5,500 ha of land. A total of 118 community watershed plans have been developed and are being implemented. An area totaling 840 ha has been reforested within two forest Reserves (Kulpawn and Ambalara Forest Reserves). Management Plans for 4 Forest Reserves have been developed i.e Kulpawn, Mawbia, Ambalara and Chiana Hills Forest Reserve. The CREMA (Community REsource Management Area) management plan within the Western Wildlife Corridor for one site covering 9 communities has been completed and is being implemented. Four other CREMA management plans are at various stages of completion. Throughout the 2016 farming season, technical support was being provided for the implementation of sub-projects and regular monitoring visits were conducted in all project districts and project communities. Regular learning events (Sustainable Land Management Roundtables) are organized each year - the 2016 event was held in Bolgatanga and included participants from all project districts. In preparation for the 2017 farming season, a total of 32 community watershed planning exercises were undertaken in new communities slated for receiving SLWM support in 2017 and Community Watershed Management Teams were formed and trained in all these communities. Already 7 draft Community watershed plans from Builsa South and Kasena Nakana West districts were prepared and are currently being reviewed by the project team. Training and other planning activities are starting in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba district and West Gonja District (Northern Region) - new entrants to the project under the Second Additional Financing. New sets of activities are being introduced under the second Additional Financing (approved in 2016), promoting an integrated landscape approach and supporting post harvest elements of the crops value chain, such as: Establishment of Village Savings and Loan Associations; Provision of water systems (weirs, hand dug wells and rain water harvesting) in agricultural landscape; Implementation of natural resource based livelihood activities; Implementation of post harvest management activities; Implementation of fire management activities; Improved support for cultivation of root and tuber crops; implementation of infrastructure development programs in Mole National Park; Implementation of strategies on human wildlife conflicts reduction; and enhanced support to establishment of woodlots; and support for natural regeneration and agroforestry sub-projects.
