Project Development Objective

To strengthen integrated natural resource management and increase benefits to communities in targeted savannah and cocoa forest landscapes.

The GLRSSMP will build on the efforts of the GoG through targeted actions to address land degradation and in support of sustainable integrated landscape management (ILM) Sustainable land-use, production, and adaptive management practices will be instilled and enhanced through the provision of adequate support mechanisms, payments for ecosystem services, value-added agroforestry, appropriate ASM techniques and regulations, institutional capacity, and compliance monitoring.
The project will focus on the following core interventions:

1. land-use planning for ILM to optimize land use;
2. formalization of ASM for sustainable mining;
3. restoration of degraded lands for agricultural productivity; and
4. strengthening of sustainable management of forest landscapes for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services.
