PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Background of Project Area
The West Mumprusi district in the Northern region is considered one of the deprived areas, though a potential bread basket of the country. The district borders the Upper East Region which has seen ( ... )
etation almost depleted by overpopulation and over exploitation. Many people from the Upper East are settling in the District in order to have land to farm. As a result, pressure is gradually increasing on the land and its resources. Therefore the time is now to act before the situation gets out of hand. PROCESS was invited in 2006 by the West Mamprusi District Assembly to take part in discussing

PROBLEM DEFINITION
The project areas are experiencing increasing soil erosion, water scarcity, reduced agricultural productivity and decreased nutritional value of food crops. Land degradation and drought are causing severe hardship for many ( ... )
who directly depend upon the natural resources for survival. Women and children, in particular, bear the greatest burden in times of drought. Women are responsible for hauling water and firewood for the household, and desertification can add hours to labour to an already fully charged workday. During food scarcity, the health of women and children are also at greater risk.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND INTENDED RESULTS
Project Background
The project site is the only location in the high forest zone in Ghana to harbour a sub-population of the globally threatened Common Hippopotamus. It is made up of meandering loops of ( ... )
no River fed by several small and large tributaries. Together with the mixture of hilly and flat terrain, these extensive riverine network offer excellent deep pools for refuge and extensive flat grassy and herbaceous vegetation beyond the riverine forest for food.
The hippo population has taken refuge in an area where they are not naturally known to the local communities. Most sections of

1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT AREA
Eguafo is an ancient settlement of the 11th century, which migrated from Old Ghana Empire through Techiman. They were the former overlords of Komenda, Edina and Abrem, which now constitute KEEAMA. Eguafo became ( ... )
opular in the 15th Century by Nana Kwamina Ansah who leased the two pieces of land on which the Portuguese built the St. George’s Castle and Fort St Jago both in Elmina, once part of the Eguafo Empire. Eguafo was the first entry points to Africa through the West Coast of Africa.

THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
The main problem confronting the people of Ullo and Konzokalah is land degradation caused mainly by unsustainable land management practices, wildfires and uncontrolled harvesting of trees for firewood and charcoal. Farming ( ... )
ces continue to rely on slash and burn because there are no viable alternative livelihood activities where people would engage themselves. Again, indiscriminate bush burning has become rampant in the traditional area having negative effect on the land productivity. Overgrazing does not allow soils to rejuvenate and regain its lost nutrients to increase crop production but results in decreases

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
Bongo District is about 15kilometers North of Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly. It shares boundaries with Burkina Faso to the north. The district has a population of over 82,000 inhabitants. The entire district is stony with ( ... )
ittle top soils.
The people are subsistent farmers, who are experiencing persistent land degradation, resulting from unsustainable agricultural practice, population pressure, indiscriminate bush-burning, overgrazing and trampling of the already infertile land by animals.
The land degradation has led to declining soil quality, long drought periods, scarcity of water, low crop yields, hunger

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Ghana is the second leading producer of cocoa in the world but Ghana government has no cocoa plantations. Thus this has been achieved through the combined effort of rural farmers, majority of who are without any formal ( ... )

They simply took advantage of the policy environment and institutional framework provided by government which gives them confidence of ownership and invested in cocoa production anywhere there is forest. It stands to reason that creating a similar policy and institutional environment in the forest sector will stimulate forest owning communities and forest dependent communities to invest in

The project will be implemented in Vea, Gowrie and Yorogo rural communities in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region. Vea, Gowrie and Yorogo are three rural farming communities in a continuum with a total population of 6,200 people in the ( ... )
ct. The communities have a severely degraded land which is prone to increasing soil erosion as a result of deforestation, inappropriate farming practices, and bush burning. Soils have become increasingly poor over the past years and this has reduced crop yield, resulting in seasonal food shortages in the community. Striga weed infestation was common in bush fields.

Problem Definition
Mounting evidence of damage to human health, poverty and the environment have made government and development partners focused attention at international community to eliminate a category of substances referred to as persistent ( ... )
pollutants (POPs) which is being used by farmers in crop production.
POPs are industrial chemicals (pesticides) derived from unwanted by-product of industrial processes. They have the ability to resist degradation in water, food crops, soil and living organism including man.
