Ghana is one of the most extensively surveyed countries in Africa from a natural resources point of view. Since colonial times when it was the Gold Coast, countless studies, feasibility reports, water resources assessments and soil reconnaissance surveys have been carried out for selected sites within the country. Most of these studies, though, have focused their attention on the water resources-based development potentials that can be generated from the economic exploitation of Ghana’s main drainage basin (The Volta River System), its main tributaries (The Black and White Volta and the Oti River), in addition to the wide network of secondary and tertiary streams that contribute to the impressive amounts of discharge into Lake Volta and the lower sections of the Basin (Tamne, Morago, Tono, Sissili, Kulpawn, Nasia, Gushie, Nabogo, Mole, Mawli, Daka, and many others). Proposed water-based developments have been primarily in the field of hydropower, with a modest attention on irrigation, flood control, navigation and urban water supply.

The climate of Ghana and as such the SADA Zone is controlled by two air masses: The Northeast Trade Winds or the Harmattan and the Southwest Trade Winds, or the Monsoons. The interphase of these two air masses is called the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) or the Tropical Rain Belt. The rainfall seasons of Ghana are controlled by the movement of the tropical rain belt, which oscillates between the Northern and southern tropics over the course of a year. The dominant wind direction in regions south of the ITCZ is south-westerly, blowing moist air from the Atlantic onto the continent, but north of the ITCZ (the SADA Zone) the prevailing winds come from the north east, bringing hot and dusty air from the Sahara desert (known as the ‘Harmattan’). As the ITCZ migrates between its north and south positions over the course of the year, the regions between these those northern and southernmost positions of the ITCZ experience a shift between the two opposing prevailing wind directions. This pattern is referred to as the West African Monsoon.

The SADA Zone holds major agricultural promise that – when harnessed – will not only make the country highly secure and less dependent on imports, but more importantly transform the lives of the zone's inhabitants quite significantly -- the zone currently records lower performances in all major indices of socio-economic performance compared to the national average, "Charles Abugre, CEO, SADA. From Commercial Agriculture Investment Guide: The Northern Savannah Ecological Zone of Ghana, published
by SADA.

The main purpose of undertaking topographical surveys is to collect relevant field data (location and elevation) about all important natural and man-made features in the study area (e.g. roads, settlement areas, farmland, protected areas, cultural sites, water sources, existing infrastructure, etc.) and use the information to prepare accurate maps of the study areas indicating the relative locations and elevation variations of the important
features. Ofek Aerial Photo consultants were employed to carry out these surveys.

AN INSPIRING AGENDA TO TRANSFORM THE AFRICAN SAVANNAH TO END EXTREME POVERTY BY 2030
The African Savannah contains most of the poorest regions in our continent. Yet is also the region most suitable for commercial agriculture and agriculture-led industrialisation. It awaits proper attention to transform it into the breadbasket of the world.
To do so we ask the World Bank and other development finance institutions to lead this process by committing to mobilise cash and guarantees to the tune of $1bn over the next 15 years, which should leverage up to $50bn in private funding to transform the African Savannah so that no one is truly left behind..

This chapter discusses themes which involve technologies developed and validated for agriculture in tropical climate, known as good agricultural practices (GAP), but more recently, many of these technologies have been included in the portfolio of climate-smart agriculture practices, once, by delivering better results in sustainable land and water management, they also provide many of the benefits expected in dealing with climate change, climate change adaptation and resilience. Most of the these technologies were created as a consequence of the emergence of the ”Green Revolution”, initiated during the 1960s in the United States, adapted to the conditions of the temperate climate. The development of the agriculture technologies for the tropics provide great opportunities for the production of food in regions with similar climatic-edaphic conditions as those of Brazil, and in this context it has and will continue to contribute significantly to food security.

SADA, the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority, was established in 2010 as a vehicle to plan, coordinate and execute development strategies, programs and projects in Ghana’s Northern Savannah Ecological Zone – NSEZ for the purpose of accelerating development and
transforming the economy of the Zone.

The data for this analysis has been derived from various sources. The socioeconomic team from Surbana would like to acknowledge the feedback and data supplied by the TCPD of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority. The Spatial Development Framework of SADA forms the backdrop for the data, in addition to that from the Ghana Statistical Service (where applicable).

As the capital of Central Gonja District, Buipe is a grade 3 urban settlement located approximately 100km south-west of Tamale. Located strategically along the Lake Volta and North-South economic development corridor, Buipe is connected to both southern Ghana and cross-border towards Burkina Faso. Though remaining largely as an agrarian economy with existing issues of poverty, flooding, poor infrastructure and accessibility, there is huge potential for Buipe to leverage on the lake transport, its strategic location relative to its regional neighbours and availability of land to catalyse industrialization and urban development. This hence help in generating economic growth, creating employment opportunities and improving living quality of the growing city.

Envisioned to be the Thriving Green Port City of NSEZ accommodating about 230,000 population by 2040, Buipe City is poised to transform from the existing small town into a port and industrial hub to catalyze the development of NSEZ as the gateway to Sahel
Region.
