The objective of the Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) Additional Financing Project for Ghana is to expand the area under sustainable land and water management practices in selected watersheds. The additional financing will ensure the adoption of the sustainable land and water management practices aimed at reducing land degradation and enhancing maintenance of biodiversity in the Kulpawn-Sissili and Red Volta watersheds. The project will focus less on spatial planning at a large scale, with no additional financing towards it since the spatial planning activities are expected to be completed within the original timeframe. The original component structure remains the same. The structure of sub-components under component 2 is revised to reduce number of sub-components and simplify presentation. Component 2 originally included five sub-components which are now grouped into four sub-components for (i) systems, capacity and monitoring for SLWM; (ii) implementation of SLWM (sub-projects); (iii) national sustainable land management and Payment for Environmental Services monitoring; and (iv) management of biodiversity corridors.
