The Savanna Accelerated Development Authority (SADA), has re-introduced the tree planting exercise in the savanna ecological zone as a means of promoting its agricultural-led transformational agenda.<\/p>\n
The SADA afforestation\u00a0project under the leadership of former SADA head Gilbert Iddi, failed after some months, but the current head, Dr. Charles Abugre, has promised that the exercise will be sustained in the zone.<\/p>\n
In 2012, it emerged that, although part of the 32.4 million Ghana cedis allocated to SADA to implement the afforestation project was spent, there was not much to show on the ground.<\/p>\n
The project rather contributed to the depletion of the environment.This is because, the natural vegetation cover had been destroyed to make way for the afforestation project, but the project has failed to yield any positive result.<\/p>\n
