INTERFACES, together with the West African Science Center for Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), COINS and DecLaRe, organised the first Stakeholder Engagement Workshop in Tamale, Northern Ghana on 15-16 November. The stakeholder engagement workshop aimed to create a participatory learning platform that would serve as a platform for shared learning, continuous dialogue and knowledge exchange among stakeholders for up-scaling and outscaling of sustainable land management innovations and practices over the four years of the projects. In addition, the workshop sought to co-create a gender-responsive theory of change necessary for the up-scaling and outscaling of sustainable land management innovations and practices. The theory of change developed at the workshop, co-created by workshop participants from traditional authorities, policy formulation and implementation institutions, academic and research institutions, the private sector, farmer-based organisations and international development agencies, revealed that among the many future visions for sustainable land management, stakeholders were keen to maximise crop yields and ensure secure land tenure, conflict resolution and women's access to land as their priority short-term goals for sustainable land management.
