1.0 Introduction/background The Government of Ghana (GoG), through the Adaptation Fund financed Programme titled “Increased resilience to climate change in northern Ghana through the management of water resources and diversification of livelihoods” aims at addressing climate change-induced decreases in the availability and increasing unpredictability of water resources, and the associated negative impacts of these trends on the livelihoods of rural communities. The main objective of the programme is to enhance the resilience and adaptive capacity of rural livelihoods to climate impacts and risks on water resources in Northern Ghana.As part of the preparatory activities to build trust and encourage active participation of stakeholders, the Project Management Unit (PMU) in collaboration with the Regional/District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committees organized community entry meetings in the 50 project beneficiary communities. The regional committee also lead radio and media interaction events in the project regional capitals as part of the community entry activities. These activities were to facilitate and nurture support for active participation and ownership of project interventions. It also provided the opportunity for the communities to jointly identified their respective water resource and assessed the extent of degradation as well as suggested interventions to restore the vegetation of the project site. Key among the stakeholders who participated in the exercise included, the traditional authority, traditional landowner, family/clan land owners, Fulani Herdsmen, minority tribes, women, farmers along the proposed water resource, representatives of project district assembly officials and relevant regional institutions/departments (such as the Department of Gender, Social Welfare, Forestry Commission, Regional House of Chief etc.)

The community entry and media outreach were held from the 5th February until 15th March 2017 in the Northern, Upper East and West regions.

1.1 Objectives of the community entry and media outreach activity The overarching objective was to raise awareness and solicit buy in towards a smooth project implementation.

The following were the specific objectives; Update stakeholders within the three Northern Regions on the status of

the AF project via radio; Identify and form a Core group of community leaders (Community

Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee) to support project implementation and sustain interventions;

1

Organize climate resilience campaigns to build understanding, gain trust and encourage participation of the project at the community level;

Propose strategies/activities for implementation to protect and or restore the project sites;

Solicit for ideas to develop and sign Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the community leaders.

1.2 MethodologyThe exercise adopted comprehensive bottom-up processes which enabled appropriate consultation among relevant stakeholders in an inclusive and participatory manner.

The following were some specific strategies use during the process;

1.2.1 Project Management Unit (PMU) handholding support As a maiden activity to secure the support of stakeholders to own and sustain the project interventions, the PMU identified the need to pilot the entry methodology by providing handholding support to the Regional/District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committees. That was to ensure a shared understanding of the project background, objectives, deliverables and expected responsibilities of relevant stakeholders (including communities, state Agencies/Departments/Commission/District Assemblies). It was also to obtain firsthand information on the possible responses/feedback of the communities during the entry to enable the project team strategies in the implementation of the project interventions.

The handholding support was organized in six (6) communities selected across the three project regions from 5th-18th February 2017 as shown below; Region Districts CommunitiesWA Nadowli District Zukpiiri and Nanvilli communitiesBolga Bawku

MunicipalTambalug and Zabugu communities

Bawku West Tilli communityNorthern

Savelugu Nanton

Libga, Zaazi, Nyoglo, Bihinaayili and Kukobila communities

The activity was led by the Project Coordinator, Mr. Peter Dery with support from the Project Technical Officer, Dr. Emmanuel Techie-Obeng and Enoch Cudjoe, Project Technical Assistant. Subsequently the Regional/District

Assembly officials

Adaptation Monitoring Committees in the project target region and district led the community entry process in the forty-four (44) communities.

1.2.2 PMU meeting with Regional/District Adaptation Monitoring Committees In pursuit of the objective to develop a shared understanding of the objectives, deliverable as well as the results of the project and the community entry exercise methodology, the PMU held regional and district based meetings with regional/district Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committees.

In the Northern, Upper East and West Regions, the PMU met with the representatives of the Regional and District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committees (represented by the EPA Directors, Area Managers, Department of Agriculture, Social Welfare, Department of Women and Regional House of Chief etc).

The following were the key outputs from the Regional/District meetings- To complete the community entry processes, including generating the

content and modalities for signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the community by the 17th March 2017.

- To ensure inclusive and participatory process with the active representation and participation particularly women and other marginalised or minority groupings such as minority Tribes, Fulani Herdsmen and settler farmers.

- To ensure fair representation and participation of women on the Community Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee

- To ensure that the communities lead in the identification of interventions to restore the vegetation of project sites

- To reassess the viability of the selected communities and make recommendation jointly with stakeholders when necessary

1.2.3 Project Management Unit Community support visits As part of the handholding support, the PMU worked with selected Regional and District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committees visited six project beneficiary communities. The activity provided the PMU the firsthand information on the receptive responses and commitment of the communities to support the smooth implementation and sustainability of the project. Key among the firsthand information obtained were

The need to identify clearly settlers and indigenes to ease the process of relocation as well as develop a relocation plan which will include the

signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the community and the District Assembly

The need to consciously ensure women are selected to represent and serve on the Community Climate Change Adaptation Committee.

Observed overwhelming acceptance of the project and show of profound commitment to supporting the effective implementation and sustainability of the project interventions

The need to develop a resettlement action plan to ease the relocation of farmers from the river banks and forestall encroachment in future. The plan should include the name of the community; type of farming and investment activity; number of household beneficiary; what is the average income per season; is the farmer a settler or indigene; what will take to move the farmer; what are the motivation factors to enable the movement;

To ensure that livelihood activities are sustained and increase income levels of the beneficiaries via a thriving market to ensure that the beneficiaries sustain the interventions beyond the project interventions

The need to gather the following additional information and incorporate into the report

o Identify other use of the water resource beyond the use of water for livelihood activities such as religious or spiritual significance

o Identify challenges encountered during the entry process and how your team dealt with such challenges

o Identify lessons

1.2.4. PMU Media OutreachAs a key objective for the community entry exercise, the PMU committed to update stakeholders on the progress of the Adaptation Fund project in the three Northern regions. In the Upper West and East regions, the PMU led by the Project Coordinator, Mr. Peter Dery with support from the Project Technical Officer worked with the regional EPA Directors to host an hour radio discussion and media interacton at the regional capitals ( Wa and Bolgatanga) respectively.

A forty-five (45) minutes radio discussion and thirty (30) minutes media interaction were centered on:- Raising awareness on the project, target

districts and communities as well as the relevance of the project to Government and its benefits to the target communities

4

- Updating stakeholders on the major activities implemented and lessons documented since the inception of the project

It was estimated that over a million readers and listeners of online print media such as GNA and affiliated media houses as well as listeners of Radio Upper West region benefitted from these media interactions

1.2.5 Regional and District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee MeetingsFollowing the successful meeting with the PMU, the Northern, Upper East and West Regional Climate Change Adaptation Committees held meetings with its respective District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committees. The meeting enabled the regional team to step down the methodology with the District Committee members and constituted a project team to lead the smooth rollout of the community entry activity in each project District Assembly

1.2.6 Pre-Community Entry by District Climate Change Adaptation Committee In line with meeting the traditional procedure aimed at seeking support from community leadership prior to any important community meeting which would require a collective communal decision, the District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committees held pre-community meetings in all the 50 project beneficiary communities. The meeting provided the opportunity for the project team to introduce the project, dialogued and agreed on specific dates which were suitable for each community to host a community meeting.

1.2.7 Community Meeting by Regional/District Climate Change Adaptation CommitteeIn the Northern, Upper East and West regions, the project constituted team, made up of representatives from the Regional and District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee held meetings in each of the beneficiary project communities. The community meetings created a unique opportunity for extensive deliberation on the project deliverables and expected roles of stakeholders. It also unearthed local strategies which were generated by the communities and were in line with the project planned interventions. The discussions centered on:

Protection and restoration of the selected river and dam basins, and collective decision for communities to manage such resource, in relation to climate change risks and green economy developments;

5

Incentives available for restoration, livelihood diversification and community development;

Multi-purpose land use within the project; Land and water management technologies to curb siltation of water

resources; Opportunities for agricultural and natural resources processing; Incorporation of cultural values in protected buffer zones of rivers and

dams; Encourage local savings and wealth creation within the pilot

communities, among others. Discussion on

The meeting provided the opportunity for the communities to brainstorm on specific roles and responsibilities they could play to facilitate smooth implementation and sustainability of the project interventions. The roles and responsibilities discussed are expected to form key component of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) expected to be signed by the community leadership, the district assembly and the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee.

1.2.7.1 Roles and responsibilities of Community Climate Change Adaptation Committee The following were the crossing cutting roles and responsibilities discussed during the exercise

The community noted that the Bui Power Authority (BPA) was implementing similar activities such as planting of trees as part of its social-cooperate responsibility contract with the community. The community assured the project team of their labour in the implementation and sustaining of the buffer zone

3.1.3.1 Description of project siteThe project site is the Black Volta river located on N 08º18.281 and W 002º10.734 with an elevation of 174m. The land cover around the project site is degraded through deforestation, perennial bush fire and pollution of the water resource through the activities of illegal mining and periodic inundation of the water resource. The project designated site has economic trees such as Dawadawa and Shea trees with scattered shrubs

A joint assessment by the project team and the community identified that the project would require between 75-80% efforts to restore the vegetation and forest cover of the water resource


Create buffer zone (including planting of economic trees such as cashew and mango) and fire belts

Support fishing activities via provision of outboard motor, fishing nets and fingerlings to boast the local fishing industry

Build a resort near the Black Volta to serve the purpose of hospitability Capital to expand farms activities, animal rearing, to support petty

traders and expand alternative livelihoods

3.1.4 Chache CommunityThe Chache community is located north of the Bole District and shares boundary with Cote D’ivoire which is separated by the Black Volta. The community is located on N 09º03.349 and W 002º29.301 with an elevation of 340m.

The community in appreciation for being selected as a beneficiary of the project, pledged their commitment to support the smooth implementation and pledged to allocate 25 acres of land along the project site to implement the project interventions. The community, however bemoaned the perennial bush fire and poor telecommunication network as major challenges which they were optimistic the project would help address.

3.1.4.1 Description of project siteThe project site is the Black Volta located on N 09º09.013 and W 002º43.516 with an elevation of 221m. The land cover is degraded through deforestation due to activities such as illegal logging, charcoal production, perennial bush fire, fuel wood extraction and the pollution of the river through the activities of illegal mining and periodic flooding. The land use and livelihood activities of the community include fishing, farming and pito brewing, acheke (a local meal) and animal husbandry. The land at the site is mainly use for farming and fishing.

The project team and the community estimated that the project will require 80% efforts to restore the vegetation cover of the project site

3.1.4.3 Inauguration of the Chache Community Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee In Chache community a ten-member committee, made up of six (6) males and four (4) females was selected and inaugurated

3.1.5 Kakiasi CommunityKikiasi is a farming community located north of the Bole District assembly on the Bole-Sawla Road. It is located on N 09º03.349 and W 002º29.301 with an elevation of 340m.

The community offered a 20-acre land area for the project towards the implementation of the project activities. As a key potential challenge, the community noted that the Fulani herdsmen could pose a threat to the buffer zone due to their continuous invasion of their cattle in the farms of the community.

3.1.5.1 Description of project siteThe project site is a dam located on N 09º13.667 and N 002º27.407 with an elevation of 221m. The project land cover is degraded through deforestation and siltation of the dam area. The land is dominated by two economic trees namely Dawadawa and the Shea tree.

38

The land at the site is mainly use for farming, charcoal production and fishing in the dam. Aside farming the people also engage in “pito” brewing and animal rearing.

Effort Required to Restore the Entire Area (by %)The team and the community estimated that it would require 75% efforts to restore entire area’s vegetation

3.1.5.2 Selected activities for the proposed area The community outlined the following activities to be implemented jointly by the project and the community to restore the land cover as well as sustain the project interventions beyond the project funding; Desilt the dam Create buffer (including planting of economic trees such as cashew and

mango) and fire belt Support fish farming by stocking fingerings to boost fishing activities Support bee keeping and honey production Provide credit facility to expand farming activities including animal

rearing.

3.2 Savelugu-Nanton District Assembly

3.2.1 Zaazi & Nyoglo cluster of communitiesZaazi & Nyoglo are communities clustered as a community sharing the Ligba dam.

The community entry and consultation was held in Zaazi community with the active representation and participation of community members Nyoglo community.

It was unanimously agreed by the two communities that the project was timely and capable of supporting them to sustain the water resource.

The project team identified that the Libga dam had buffer zone created in 1982, however with the continuous low water levels especially during the dry season periods, coupled with the absence of functioning water pumping machines and canals the community cultivate vegetables close to the dam. The community attributed these practices as contributing to the siltation, particularly at the western bank of the dam.

At the Zaazi community, the members of the community bemoaned the inability to comply with the practice to cultivate vegetables outside the area earmarked for conservation or buffer zone to prevent siltation of the dam. The community attributed the difficulty and drudgery associated with manual lifting of water to the irrigable areas.

The opinion leaders of the four communities were optimistic that the provision of facilities such as pumping machines and rehabilitation of the canals will enable the communities to abstract

39

water from the dam without farming close to the dam. It was strongly noted that a bye-law should be enacted and gazette to enable the communities concerned to comply

The community agreed and called for support from the project to create and maintain buffer zone around the dam as well as undertake enrichment planting with tree species that have medicinal value due to the gradual extinction of medicinal plant It was noted that the dam was much encroached at the Zaazi and Nyoglo communities with minimal encroachment at the Libga section of the dam.

The community was excited about the idea of bee keeping as an alternative livelihood and a measure to prevent bush fire. Mr. Iddi Saaka a community member from Nyoglo noted that bush fire was antagonistic to Bee keeping and entreated the community to desist from indiscriminate bush fires

Access to market was raised as a key challenge especially for vegetable farmers as they are exploited by middlemen with very low prices as against farmers sending their produce to the markets. The bigger challenge however was noted that farmers are faced with the difficulty to find ready market and due the perishable nature of the produce the farmers are forced to sell at very low prices to middlemen. The communities appealed to the project to support market linkages and education to enable the farmers obtain good prices to increase income levels


- Desilt dam and create canals- Support community based fish farming - Support community based bee keeping and honey harvesting- Support the provision of pumping machines - Support in market linkages to increase income

3.2.1.2 Project site:The project site identified is the Libga dam.

The Libga dam uses the furrow system irrigation type and use by the two cluster communities, namely Zaazi and Nyoglo.

3.2.1.3 Inauguration of the Zaazi and Nyoglo Communities Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee At the meeting the communities decided to elect community specific committee to coordinate and support the implementation/monitoring of the project activities;

In Zaazi community, a total of 10 members made up of seven (7) males and three (3) females were elected and inaugurated

40

Nyoglo community had 10 members made up of six (6) men and four (4) females elected

3.2.2 The Kukobila- Tamalgu communities clusterThe Kukobila and Tamalgu communities are communities clustered as a community sharing a the Nasia river as common water resource

The community entry and consultation was held at Kukobila with the active representation and participation of community members from Tamalgu.Participants particularly women from Tamalgu requested for the project to support the community to acquire a rice processing equipment to enhance rice processing in the community. It was noted that the only rice process facility was located at Kukobila, a kilometer away which takes a lot of their times and lose some significant quantity of their produce.

3.2.2.1 Selected activities for the proposed areaThe community unanimously agreed to create buffer around the water resource to conserve and improve the river vegetation and encourage fishing. It was also agreed that preserving the buffer will further boost traditional herbal medicinal plants and will discourage indiscriminate bush burning.

It was identified that there were two categories of land users in the community, namely community and none community members who engage in dry season gardening along the river boundaries. Ironically it was identified that majority of the irrigation farmers were not from the community who are engaged in commercial dry season farming whereas the indigenes are engaged in subsistence irrigation farming. It was attributed to inadequate financial support.

It was emphatically noted that absence of ready market was a major challenge for women who are engaged in rice and shea butter processing.

3.2.2.2 Project SiteThe project site is the Nasia river which is a tributary of the White Volta River.

The water resource also provides livelihood for small scale fishing by the community. The use of agro-chemical by farmers engaged in dry season farming along the Nasia Valley has contributed to low catch and threatens the alternative livelihood as well as their nutritional needs.

3.2.2.2 Inauguration of the Kukobila- Tamalgu Communities Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee At the meeting the communities decided to elect community specific committee to coordinate and support the implementation/monitoring of the project activities;

In Kukobila community, a ten-member committee made up of seven (7) males and three (3) females was selected whilst

41

Tamalgu community selected six (6) males and four (4) females as the committee for the community

3.2.3 Dinga and Sug-Tampia cluster communities The Dinga and Sug-Tampia communities are located on the fringes of the White Volta river. These communities are located within the catchment area of an irrigation infrastructure which was funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and implemented by the Northern Rural Growth Programme (NRGP).

It was identified that the irrigation machinery/infrastructure was broken down due to mechanical and distribution faults, however the head water or distribution point where water is pumped from the White Volta to the irrigable areas/fields was functioning. The Chief of Dinga was hopeful the Adaptation Fund project would collaborate with AfDB/NRGP to adopt the lesson to inform the Adaptation Fund project activities

The project team identified that the communities engaged in dry season irrigation activities (cultivation of vegetables such as okra, Aleefu/Spinach, Chorchorus Aleitrus (Ayoyo) and fish processing.

3.2.3.1 Selected activities for the proposed area The women in the community requested the project to support them to improve on the

quality of fish processing to increase sales and income. Rehabilitate the irrigation system to encourage dry season farming

3.2.3.2 Project SiteThe project site is the White Volta River.

It was found that the banks along the river was conserved and protected from bush fire.

3.2.3.2 Inauguration of the Dinga and Sug-Tampia Communities Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee In Dinga community a total of ten-member committee, made up of seven (7) males and three (3) females was selected and inaugurated

3.2.4. Tampoing and Nagdigu cluster of communitiesThe community listed approximately sixty-four (64) crocodiles in the dugout/dam. The community requested for the project to support the community to develop the crocodile pond into a tourist attraction area to create jobs as well as generate income for the community

3.2.4.1 Project siteThe project site is a dugout located at Tampiong which is shared as a common resource by Nagdigu.

42

Human activities close to the dugout was attributed to the siltation of the dam. A joint assessment by the community and the project team identified that if nothing was done within at least 3 years the community would lose the water resource.

3.2.4.2 Inauguration of the Tampoing and Nagdigu Communities Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee A total of ten-member committee, made up of seven (7) males and three (3) females was selected and inaugurated

3.2.5 3.2.1 Bihinaayilli communitiesBihinaayilli community shares a portion of the Libga dam with communities such as Zaazi and Nyoglo communities

It was identified that the community is located at the upstream of the dam and has borehole for the irrigation of the farms which needs to be mechanized

It was identified that livestock rearing was prominent at Bihinaayilli community. The community has been successful with livestock rearing due to a communal practice that prohibit bush burning for the past fifteen years. The conservation of the environment at Bihinaayili through non-burning provide good grazing grounds for the livestock. The project team encouraged the other communities to learn from Bihinaayili to conserve the vegetation.

The community agreed and called for support from the project to create and maintain buffer zone around the dam as well as undertake enrichment planting with tree species that have medicinal value due to the gradual extinction of medicinal plant.

Access to market was raised as a key challenge especially for vegetable farmers as they are exploited by middlemen with very low prices as against farmers sending their produce to the markets. The bigger challenge however was noted that farmers are faced with the difficulty to find ready market and due the perishable nature of the produce the farmers are forced to sell at very low prices to middlemen. The communities appealed to the project to support market linkages and education to enable the farmers obtain good prices to increase income levels

As part of the consultation to identify priority interventions to restore the vegetation of the project site as well as build a strong resilience against the impact of climate change in the community, the following were enumerated by the community to be implemented jointly with the project;

- Desilt dam and create canals- Support community based fish farming - Support community based bee keeping and honey harvesting- Support the provision of pumping machines - Support in market linkages to increase income

43

3.2.1.2 Project site:The project site identified is the Libga dam.

3.2.1.3 Inauguration of the Bihinaayilli Communities Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee

4.2.1 Nabugaugn CommunityIn Nabugaugn, the community pledged as a sign of their commitment to allocate an estimated land size of 3 hectares around the water resource for the project to implement its interventions.

54

The community listed the following land use and livelihood activities around the project site;

Engaged in the cultivation of maize, millet, rice, groundnuts and Bambara beans on subsistence basis

Engaged in dry season gardening farming activities in cultivating tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, pepper, beans and carrots.

Some individual households have established and manage teak tree plantation.

Women are engaged in pito brewing, shea butter and soap making. Engaged in livestock rearing such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and

fowls. Pigs are confined while small and large ruminants are kept under the semi-intensive system, often tethered during the farming season (rainy season) and on free range during the dry season.

Shea butter processing and soap making.The project team identified that a local NGO called Nandom Deanery Integrated Rural Development Programme (NADRIDEP) operates in the community. The local NGO seeks to build the capacity of farmers to practice sustainable land management and achieve food security.NADRIDEP has trained the community on soil management (including composting, stone bunding and crop rotation) and constructed hand-dug wells for dry season farming

4.2.1.1 Description of Project SiteThe water resource identified is a dam.Land cover in the community consist of scanty grass and few scattered trees, except around the eastern part of the community where small teak plantations and non-bush burning area have been established. Shea and dawadawa are the common economic trees in the community.

The level of land degradation was very high, particularly around the allocated buffer zone, where part of the land is not suitable for farming due to soil erosion which has removed the cultivable layer. At the relatively more fertile part of the allocated buffer, there is a farm of about one acre.The dam in the community was constructed by the Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP). Opportunities identified by the project team

i. A large part of the community practice non-bush burning. The experience of community members in controlling bushfires can be relied upon to control bushfires in the buffer zone.

55

ii. Community members have established and are protecting teak plantations from bushfires. Their involvement in the project is an opportunity to share experience to re-vegetate the buffer zone.

iii. The community is committed to providing communal labour. Therefore, the community will contribute labour, which is an essential input for project activities.

A joint assessment by the project team and the community identified that about 80% effort was required to restore the allocated buffer zone.


Establish buffer zone with fence Grow trees in the buffer zone, including community-preferred fruit

trees such as mango, cashew and orange. Forma and train fire volunteer squad Create fire belts Provide pumping machines, pipes, watering cans for irrigation Train women in soap and pomade making and provide shea butter

4.2.1.2 Inauguration of the Nabugaugn Community Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee An eleven-member committee, made up of eight (8) males and three (3) females was formed by community and inaugurated with the support of the project team

4.2.2 Ko-Bukom Community Ko-Bukom is a section of Ko community in the Nandom District with a total 1819 people

The project team identified that a local NGO called Center for Indigenous Knowledge Development (CIKOD) operates in the community. The NGO has built the capacity of farmers to use indigenous knowledge for sustainable land management and raised awareness on the cultivation of indigenous crops.

56

Inadequate access to water was prominently raised as a challenge which contribute to poor participation of women especially during community meetings. It was explained that women spend long hours in search of portable water. Although the community has 7 boreholes, these boreholes are low yielding and with the increasing population the demand for water continue to increase.The community enumerated the following land use and livelihood activities being undertaken around the project site;

Engaged in the cultivation of maize, millet, rice, groundnuts and Bambara beans on subsistence basis

Engaged in dry season gardening farming activities in cultivating tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, pepper, beans and carrots.

Some individual households have established and manage teak tree plantation.

Women are engaged in pito brewing, shea butter and soap making. Engaged in livestock rearing such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and

fowls. Pigs are confined while small and large ruminants are kept under the semi-intensive system, often tethered during the farming season (rainy season) and on free range during the dry season.

Shea butter processing and soap making.Opportunities identified by the project team

1) There is a shrine within the allocated buffer zone, which can be use by traditional authorities to declare the place as sacred to control bushfires and tree felling.

2) Bushfires have been controlled in some parts of the community. The community can use this experience to control bushfires in the buffer zone.

3) Some individuals in the community are growing trees around their houses and can use their experiences to grow trees in the buffer zone.

4) The community is committed to providing communal labour. Therefore, the community will contribute labour, which is an essential input for project activities.

4.2.2.1 Description of Project SiteThe water resource and project site is a dam.The dam was rehabilitated by the Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP).

Land cover in the community generally consist of scanty grass and sparse trees. The commonest trees in the community are shea and dawadawa. There are also few teak trees growing around some houses.

The level of land degradation in the community was very high, with large parts of the land consisting of surface rock formations. There are also large deposits of sediments in the dam reservoir.

It was identified that the community had drilled wells downstream to irrigate their farms because of the absence of canals. The community committed an estimated land size of 5 hectares for the project to support in the creation of a buffer zone and related activities.

Effort Required to Restore the Entire Area (by %)An assessment conducted by the team and the community identified that about 80% effort would be needed to restore the allocated buffer zone which has been degraded.

4.2.2.1.1 Selected activities for the proposed areaAs part of the consultation to identify priority interventions to restore the vegetation of the project site as well as build a strong resilience against the impact of climate change in the community, the following were enumerated by the community to be implemented jointly with the project;

1) De-silting of the dam2) Introduce cage fishing (tilapia) in dam3) Provide pumping machines, watering cans, pipes and sprinklers for

irrigation.4) Drill boreholes5) Create buffer zone with fence and establish small restaurant/drinking

bar nearby6) Create fire belts7) Grow trees in the buffer zone, including community-preferred trees

such as mango and cashew 8) Form and train fire volunteer squad9) Support community based bee keeping with hives 10) Train women in soap and pomade making and provide shea

butter processing machine11) Support community based bee keeping with hives

Signs of any similar project activities in the proposed areaThere are small irrigated gardens in the community, which rely on hand dug wells and use of buckets for watering crops within the irrigable area of the GSOP-rehabilitated dam.

4.2.2.2 Inauguration of the Ko-Bukom Community Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee A ten-member committee, made up of six (6) males and four (4) females was formed by community and inaugurated with the support of the project team

4.2.3 Naapaal-Dabagteng-Ketuo cluster of communities The Naapaal, Dabagteng and Ketuo communities are contiguous belt along the Black Volta River and have been clustered as a beneficiary community.

The project team identified inadequate access to water as a major challenge in these communities. The team also identified a striving Village Savings and Loans Association in the communities and provides opportunity for the project to build on to ensure adequate funds are saved towards the sustainability of the project interventions. The community committed to support the project by providing communal labour to ensure the effective implementation of the project interventions in the community.

4.2.3.1 Description of Project SiteThe project site is the Black Volta River in the Dabagteng community. The community suggested a buffer zone area of 20 hectares to restore portions of bare and degraded land area due to farming activities close to the river and bushfires. The land cover in the three communities consist of grass and sparse trees. The commonest trees in the community are shea, dawadawa and teak trees growing around houses, particularly in Naapaal. The level of land degradation in the communities was very high, due primarily to farming, fuel wood harvesting and bushfires that destroy vegetative cover in the area and create portions of bare land from which top soil is eroded and deposited in the river. It was observed that some individuals in the community were growing trees around their houses and provide opportunity for the project to leverage on their experiences to grow trees and sustain the buffer zone.The community noted the following land use and livelihood activities in the Naapaal-Dabagteng-Ketuo cluster of communities:

59

1) Farms of maize, millet, rice, groundnuts and Bambara beans, and dry season gardens of tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, pepper, beans and carrots.

2) Forest plantation of teak established and managed by individual families.

3) Pito brewing and soap making. 4) Livestock rearing, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and fowls. Pigs

are confined while small and large ruminants are kept under the semi-intensive system, often tethered during the farming season (rainy season) and on free range during the dry season.

5) Shea butter, Groundnut and Dawadawa processing.6) Harvesting and selling of fuel 7) Stone crushing

It was also noted that World Food Programme (WFP) supported the Dabagteng community with one pumping machine, which is use for irrigating vegetable gardens during the dry season. In Naapaal community, Concern Universal (an NGO) supported the women group in the production and sell of sorghum to breweries.Name and Interest of Community-Based Organization in the Project Area Concern Universal (an NGO) supports farmers to produce and sell sorghum to breweries.Effort Required to Restore the Entire Area (by %)A joint assessment by the project team and the community identified that about 70% effort is required to restore the allocated buffer zone.


1) Provide pumping machines, watering cans, pipes and sprinklers to support irrigation in each of the three communities.

2) Drill boreholes3) Create buffer zone with fence (including the planting of economic trees

such as mango and cashew) and fire belt4) Support community based bee keeping with hives5) Form and train fire volunteer squad

60

6) Support women groups in each of the three communities with machines for shea butter and soya oil processing

7) Introduce cage fishing (tilapia)

4.2.3.2 Inauguration of the Naapaal-Dabagteng-Ketuo cluster Community Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring Committee A fourteen-member committee, made up of ten (10) males and four (4) females was formed by community and inaugurated with the support of the project team

4.2.4 Gengenkpe-Sonne-Venne Cluster of Communities The Genegenkpe- Sonne and Venne are contiguous communities along the Black Volta River in the Gengenkpe.

Like many other communities in the District the team identified that the cluster communities did not have adequate access to water and that affect the active participation of women in community meeting.The community committed to provide communal labour to support the implementation of the project activities in the community. The communities committed to offer 18 hectares of land for buffer zone to be created to restore the degraded forest.In discussing the land use and livelihood activities in these cluster communities, the following were enumerated;

1) Engage in the cultivation of maize, millet, rice, groundnuts and Bambara beans, and dry season pump irrigation farms (of tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, pepper, beans, carrot) along the Black Volta River at Sonne and Venne.

2) Women in the communities are engaged into pito brewing, Shea butter, Groundnut and Dawadawa processing.

3) Common livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and fowls are reared by both men and women in these communities. Pigs are confined while small and large ruminants are kept under the semi-intensive system, often tethered during the farming season (rainy season) and on free range during the dry season.

4) Stone crushing

4.2.4.1 Description of Project SiteThe project site is the Black Volta River.

The land cover in the cluster communities consist of grass and sparse trees. The commonest economic trees within the designated area include shea and dawadawa.

The project team identified that a local NGO called Nandom Deanery Integrated Rural Development Programme (NADRIDEP) operates in the

62

community. NANDIRDEP seeks to build the capacity of farmers to practice sustainable land management and achieve food security.There are Village Savings and Loans Associations in the communities. The following were also identified

The community has been supported to undertake cage fishing in the Kokoligu dam under a CIDA-funded project implemented by Zoomlion Ghana Limited.The fish cages in the Kokoligu dam were not functional, due to poor maintenance and lack of access to fish feed. The ropes holding the cages were torn and not been replaced.

NANDRIDEP had trained farmers in bullock ploughing and composting, and supported with tree seedlings for planting.

FM Shea had supported the Bikyinteng community with a shea roasting machine.

The community enumerated the following land use and livelihood activities in the cluster communities:

1) Cultivation of maize, millet, rice, groundnuts and Bambara beans. There are also dry season pump irrigation gardens, and banana farm at Zogpielle along the Black Volta River.

2) Engaged in livestock rearing such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, fowls and turkeys. Pigs are confined while small and large ruminants are kept under the semi-intensive system, often tethered during the farming season (rainy season) and on free range during the dry season.

3) Fishing and stone crushing 4) Pito brewing, Shea butter, Groundnut and Dawadawa processing.

4.2.5.1 Description of Project SiteThe project site is the Black Volta River. The land cover in this cluster of communities consist of grass, sparse trees and shrubs. The commonest trees in the area are shea and dawadawa. The level of land degradation in the communities was high, due primarily to bush fires, tree felling and farming along the Black Volta River, which cause soil erosion and sediment deposition in the river.

63

The community has committed to relocated for 20-hectare buffer to be created as part of the contribution to restore the vegetation and prevent siltation.

Effort Required to Restore the Entire Area (by %)An assessment jointly conducted by the project team and the community indicated that about 70% efforts is required to restore the allocated buffer zone.


1) Provide pumping machines, watering cans, pipes and sprinklers for each of the four communities in the cluster (i.e. Zogpielle, Bikyinteng, Gbandakuri and Guri).

64

Community meeting Jang community dam

A team up of representatives from the Regional and District Adaptation Monitoring Committee facilitated the outreach in the project beneficiary communities

4.3.1 Jang community In Jang community, a total of forty (40) community members made up of thirty (30) men and ten (10) females attended the meeting.

The community led by the opinion leaders were appreciative of the project and were optimistic that the project would help to deepen awareness on human activities that contribute to the drying up of the dam The community expressed the need for the project to support desilt the dam and create buffer around to halt further siltation. The community assured the project of it preparedness to relocate all farming activities along and close to the dam to prevent siltation.The community expressed the need for the project to support the development of alternative livelihood activities as well as create market opportunities for shea butter and agriculture products to increase income as well as

reduce the pressure on the ecosystem in the community


i. Form groups to monitor and nurture seedlings on a routine and competitive basis to reward and motive efforts of groups that performs well.

ii. Ensure that animals are confined to prevent them from destroying tree seedlings especially at night.

iii. Relocate farmers from farming close to the dam

65

4.3.1.2 Project site The community identified the Jang dam as the water resource to be protected and management sustainable.

The project site was degraded due to the indiscriminate felling of trees by chainsaw operators in and outside the community. The activities of chainsaw operators have resulted into the degradation of the vegetation with few tree and silted dam.

The meeting was attended by representatives of the regional and District Climate Change Adaptation Monitoring committee as well as the Adaptation Fund Project Management Unit (namely the Project Coordinator, Technical Officer and Assistant)

Led by the Chief of the community Naa Dakurah Bapagere-ening I, he was full of praises and added that the project was timely. He was particularly hopeful that the project would help to support on-going efforts of herbalists in the community and its surroundings to preserve plants and herbs in the community. The community identified activities such as Fulani herdsmen, indiscriminate bushfire and siltation of the Black Volta as the possible challenges the community would have to support to deal with as part of the project implementation. The community was optimistic that the project would help to promulgate the bye-laws enacted to curtail these activities to sustain the on-going efforts of traditional herbalists as well as the project interventions.It was also noted that introducing alternative livelihood activities especially during the dry season could go a long way to eliminate the indiscriminate felling of trees, bushfire in the community’s quest to generate income. Activities such as dry season gardening, animal husbandry, shea butter, soap

66

A farm close by the Black Volta

making, piggery and groundnut paste processing were list among other activities

4.3.2.1 Project site and the background of the traditional healers and herbalistsThe project site is the Black Volta river Zukpiiri community is one of seven cluster communities located approximately 6 Kilometers from the Black Volta River. Traditional healers and herbalist from the seven communities in 2004 created a 6-kilometer forest reserve primarily to preserve medicinal plants which are being extinct due to indiscriminate bush burning in the communities. the communities include Maguo, Mandari, Guodare, Siiro, Puni, Zukpiri) The communities in the year 2014 as part of their quest to protect the Black Volta which serve as shrine from siltation due to human activities along the river bank, the community relocated 17 community members farming along the Black Volta.The community as a beneficiary of Ghana Environmental Management Project (GEMP) was supported to preserve the forest and has since worked hard to conserve the forest and protect the Tampon Sacred ShrineThe community under the GEMP mobilized traditional herbalists in the seven communities and created a 6 kilometers’ buffer of forest reserve primarily to preserve medicinal plants. The community is hopeful that the project will help to extend the forest reserve by additional 6 kilometers towards the Black Volta River as well as maintain the existing 6-kilometer forest reserve. Key among the request include for the project to rehabilitate and dredge an existing community dugout for livestock to prevent them from entering the protected area to the Black Volta and provide alternative livelihood activities for women such as shea butter processing, ground nut paste and rearing of small ruminant.

The communities are hopeful that by extending the forest reserve by additional 6 kilometers it will help protect the Black Volta to serve fully benefit as a source of livelihood, water resource and as a shrine for many and protect the Tankpong Sacred Shrine. The community is also hopeful that the project will assist to construct a center for the community to exhibit the various plant and medicinal species in the protected forestThe community enumerated the following as some of the key activities that both the community and the project could work on to prevent further siltation and degradation of the forest cover in the community.

67

5.0 Key issues discussed and consensus built The following were the key issues raised, discussed and consensus built with the communities during the exercise;

o Agreed to release at least 50 meters of land around the community water resource (a river or dam) and a buffer created to protect the water resource.

o Agreed to move/halt all farming activities as well as other related human and livestock activities at least 50 meters away from the community water resource

o Lead in the protection and creation of buffer around the dam or river via

Protecting all trees in water catchment areas through fencing using available local materials

Planting trees, vertiva within the buffer area Creating fire belts around the buffer and mobilise the

community to manage bush fireso Enact community bye-law to ensure compliance of

community rules and regulations to halt indiscriminate bush fire, overgrazing, water pollution, farming along the dam and use of agrochemicals to protect project intervention and the ecosystem of the community

o Establish community water management committee to manage the operation and maintenance of proposed borehole construction

o Mobilise community and individual efforts to improve the local environment by monitoring the implementation of the project agreement

As a measure of the communities’ commitment, the opinion leaders agreed to sign off a MOA to serve as a guide for the smooth implementation of the project.

6.0 Community entry and consultation Reflection:The following were some of the key issues discussed and recommended to be considered to facilitate ownership and sustainability of the project.

- Work with the District Assemblies to identify focal persons to represent the District and ensure that the Coordinating Directors are copied on all correspondence

- As part of the baseline setting, the project should develop a project picture calendar for each community for each year to tell the progress of the community

- Institute district level radio programme to raise awareness and encourage other communities beyond the project target areas to adopt the project strategy.

- The team identified two different group of people in the communities to be co-opted into the community committees.

The team identified Fulani settlers or livelihood settlers and the indigenes.

- The project should provide books to the community as a control measure to check visitors to the project site and encourage community to document their experience

- To ensure that livelihood activities are sustained and increase income levels of the beneficiaries via a thriving market to ensure that the beneficiaries sustain the interventions beyond the project interventions

- The team also identified the need to develop a resettlement action plan to ease the relocation of farmers from the river banks and forestall encroachment in future. The plan should include the name of the community; type of farming and investment activity; number of household beneficiary; what is the average income per season; is the farmer a settler or indigene; what will take to move the farmer; what are the motivation factors to enable the movement;

- The need to gather the following additional information and incorporate into the report

o Identify other use of the water resource beyond the use of water for livelihood activities such as religious or spiritual significance

o Identify challenges encountered during the entry process and how your team dealt with such challenges

o Identify lessons
