Description

Objectives of Programme:

The focus of the programme is on providing support to the production and trade in staple food markets between Ghana and Burkina Faso, and between Nigeria and Niger. The programme will work to enable policies that allow for equitable and efficient regional market development and will aim to tackle the cause of multiple market failures by deploying carefully targeted interventions across the region. The anticipated outcomes of the five year project are: better business models for agricultural production; better business models for agricultural marketing and; agriculture and trade policies and regulations rationalised and improved.

The programme consists of two main activities;

1) A Challenge fund to provide finance to innovative business models in food production and marketing and;
2) A Policy Facility to provide evidence, analysis and advocacy for policy and regulatory reform.

The Project will be based in Accra, Ghana with travel to Burkina Faso, Niger and Nigeria. Anticipated Start Date – October 2013
