Background
The SLWMP is a flagship project derived from Ghana’s Strategic Investment Framework (GSIF) for SLM which was prepared in 2010
The GSIF identified the northern savannah zone of Ghana as critical landscape for intervention.
SLWMP started in the year 2011 The project is designed around three components:
(1) Capacity building for integrated spatial planning; (2) Land and Water Management, and (3) Project management and coordination.

Ghana SLWMP Project Overview As part of the WBG’s Sahel and West Africa Programme (SAWAP) in Support of the
Great Green Wall Initiative, and with financing support from GEF (US$ 16.9 million),
Ghana has laid a strong foundation in developing and implementing innovative and
effective SLM programs and partnerships.
Integrated landscape approach through Participatory watershed planning in 10
districts in the Northern Savannah Zone of Ghana
Project Objective: to expand the area under sustainable land and water
management practices in selected watersheds (unchanged).

Land preparation: No-TillageSoil is covered with mulch at planting
Planting is done directly through the mulch

Maintaining soil health for increased productivity
Soil organic matter help maintain
biological processes, prevents erosion, improves plant
nutrients, increases soil carbon, increases resilience to climate
change
• Protects soil against direct impact of raindrops & sunshine
• Improves organic matter content of soil and plant nutrient
• Serves as feed for insects and soil organisms
• Slows down run off and increase water infiltration

Stone bunds wrongly constructed
The use of the A-Frame assisted farmers to correct wrongly done stone bunds and also to create more planting space.

Bottle Irrigation
Climate Change adaptation – ensuring that tree seedlings survive during the long dry season. NB without the mulch = high evaporation

Restoring degraded land with Bamboo
![Page 38: SUSTAINABLE LAND AND WATER MANAGEMENT PROJECT](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070518/58e7763a1a28abac7d8b61f5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Bamboo-based sustainable land management technologies Bamboo has great potential to help restore degraded lands and protect
watersheds; Bamboo rhizomes and roots develop remain alive and rooted in the soil,
producing new shoots each year and not destroy by wildfires; It is very resilient, able to withstand floods and wildfires; Bamboo leaves could play a potentially important role in providing a
sustainable source of fodder and feed; Bamboo can significantly reduce water runoff and soil erosion because of its
extensive rhizome and rooting system; Bamboo component of SLM is to improve bamboo-based livelihoods
and reduce land degradation through associated bamboo-based environmental services;
