Active Projects
Savanna Conservation Movement (SACOMO)
Developing young savanna conservation champions
An environmental learning-to-action programme engaging basic and secondary school students in biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration and climate awareness. Through school clubs, practical field learning and community activities, SACOMO aims to develop a new generation of young conservation champions.
Circular Economy for Net Zero
Creating zero-waste savanna agrifood systems
An innovative dryland carrot production and value-chain model linking crop and livestock systems. Carrot residues are used as animal feed, while livestock manure is returned to farmland as organic soil-improving matter. The programme aims to reduce waste, strengthen soil health and generate sustainable rural livelihoods.
Savanna Biodiversity
Protecting transboundary elephant migration corridors
A conservation initiative focused on elephant migration along the Red and White Volta wildlife corridors. It proposes to combine AI-enabled monitoring with participatory citizen science and community stewardship to protect habitats, discourage poaching and reduce human–wildlife conflicts.
Strategic Programmes in Development
Savanna Water, Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Resilience
A proposed collaboration among SAFI, the Ghana National Commission for UNESCO and the University for Development Studies. It would bring scientific research, indigenous knowledge and community-led innovation together around water security, climate adaptation and savanna landscape resilience.
Status: Institutional agreement and programme advancement are pending.

Red Volta Riparian and Gallery Forest Recovery
A proposed Ghana–Burkina Faso landscape recovery initiative, envisaging collaboration among SAFI, World Vision and the University for Development Studies. It would restore riparian and gallery forests, support elephant habitat connectivity and strengthen climate resilience.
Status: Concept refinement, partner confirmation and funding development.

Further Concept in Development
Bawku Assets, Investment and Regeneration (BAIRP)
BAIRP remains a separate programme concept. It would build an evidence base on assets, livelihoods, infrastructure, environmental resources and community priorities in Bawku Municipality and selected neighbouring areas of Pusiga and Binduri.
Status: Programme concept in development. Scope, delivery arrangements and funding remain to be agreed.
How to Engage
Researchers, public institutions, community organisations, businesses and funders can contribute questions, local experience, technical capability or resources. Conversations should help define realistic next steps and fair responsibilities.
