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.

A more detailed ISR will be submitted after the implementation support mission which will be carried out in mid April 2018. Project overall performance is moderately satisfactory. The project continued demonstrating good progress on implementation of the core SLWM activities through sub-projects. This is a multi-sectoral project implemented across 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. Since project inception, over 8,000 sub-projects benefiting 48,373 farmers have been supported and are currently being implemented by farmer groups in 211 communities covering more than 7,300 ha of land. A total of 211 community watershed plans have been developed and are being implemented. Management Plans for 8 Forest Reserves have been developed, i.e Pudo, Sissala North, Sissala Central, Kulpawn, Mawbia, Bepona, Ambalara and Chiana Hills Forest Reserve. An area totaling 890 ha has been reforested within the Kulpawn and Ambalara Forest Reserves (figure to be updated after the April 2018 mission). Eighty-eight communities from the six established CREMAs have adopted management plans. Throughout the 2016-2017 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. 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. Community Watershed Management Teams were formed and trained in all these communities. Seven draft Community watershed plans from Builsa South and Kasena Nakana West districts were prepared and are currently being reviewed by the project team. (Figures to be updated after the upcoming April 2018 mission) Training has been completed at the districts of Sawla-Tuna-Kalba, West Gonja, and Mamprugu Muiduri (Northern Region) - new entrants to the project under the Second Additional Financing (to be updated once the April 2018 mission takes place).
