ADPA-SL will be working with the community stakeholders in the four targeted communities within the chiefdom. Key stakeholders including teachers, chiefs, Religious leaders, tribal heads, societal heads, mining companies, security apparatus and the general public will be involved in the project life cycle from the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of project through their active participation in all stages during assessment, meetings, practical demonstration activities such as tree planting, agricultural activities, land reclamation, reforestation, sustainable forest and land management practices, Capacity building, monitoring, supervision and evaluation of project activities for sustainability . The majority of the population is dependent on the environment for their livelihoods and mining and are as well depleting the environment through their activities. This result in an increase in the poverty status of community dwellers especially the rural poor. A critical first step in promoting a greater responsiveness of security and sustainable land reclamation, reforestation and forest management services for the communities is by raising public awareness of the underlying causes of a decline in the quality of their environment due to mining, deforestation, livelihoods activities, their rights and responsibilities in managing their local environment and their God given right in benefiting from these resources within their communities rather than just the influential. In ensuring efficient and effective monitoring, evaluation and sustainability of project activities, ADPA-S/L will involve community stakeholders in the formation of structures in communities to supervise, monitor and sensitize community members on the effects of deforestation and land degradation through workshops, trainings, Radio discussions to understand the project impact
