Tops of check dams should not be level -- the center should be lower. The one made of broken brick in the middle of the video has it right.

That vetiver grass at 2:30, it's hedgerows can be used in conjunction with these check dams to control soil erosion. At 3:20, why not plant the vetiver grass at the interface of the soil and the ends of the dam, to forestall any breakthrough by the water there.

In Malawi they should use Vetiver, but elsewhere in the world you should look for something similar, but that's indigenous. And with grasses and similar plant matter, you usually buy in bulk, because just one plant isn't going to serve the purpose. Also, you should consider whether the climate calls for check dams. These kind of projects are best suited to combat desertification.

You must armour the banks of the whole dam, upstream and downstream. Otherwise there will be erosion above and below your dam. Construct your dams in a V configuration. If you do, the force is directed towards the middle. If you don't, the force will wash away the sides and destroy your dam
