Programmes

The Savannah Agricultural Value Chain Development Program (SADP) is being implemented to serve as part of post COVID-19 reconstruction efforts aimed at addressing disruptions in food systems in Ghana. It seeks to build on successes under the Savannah Zone Agriculture Productivity Improvement Project (SAPIP) and Savannah Investment Programme (SIP) that have so far expanded the production of maize and soybean from 80 hectares in 2018 to 14,000 hectares in 2021. This program is expected to build on the achievements made and to further expand production of rice, soybean and maize by an additional 8,000 hectares by 2026.

The Program which will be implemented in 9 districts located in 5 regions of the country will be used as an instrument to implement the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) to address key constraints in food security and the poultry and livestock feed industry. This support is to allow medium scale commercial farmers and their out-growers to expand areas under cultivation for rice, soybean and maize under PFJ, which feeds into the poultry value chain under Rearing for Food and Jobs (RFJ). This integrated approach will support elements of growing at scale and provision of market outlets for smallholder farmers, especially women and the youth.

 

Pest Management Plan (PMP)

This Pest Management Plan (PMP) has been developed in direct response to the risk of pests and diseases and to guide the operation of SADP to achieve compliance with applicable national regulations and AfDB Operational Safeguard 4 - Pollution Prevention and Control, Hazardous Materials and Resource Efficiency.

The proposed program will have three components namely:

  • Component 1: Production Development,
  • Component 2: Integrated Agribusiness and Value Chain Development, and
  • Component 3: Project Management and Institutional Support.

Background
The Government of Ghana (GoG) through the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) in collaboration with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) intend to participate in the second phase of the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP2) under the World Bank Multi-Phase Programmatic Approach (MPA) to strengthen regional food system risk management, improve the sustainability of the productive base in targeted areas and to develop regional agricultural markets. The FSRP2 will contribute to enhancing the capacity of vulnerable households, families, communities, and food systems within the country to face uncertainty and the risk of shocks; to withstand and respond effectively to shocks; as well as to recover and adapt in a sustainable manner.
The Program includes three regional institutions: Economic Commission of West African States (ECOWAS), The Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS), and the West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF). Phase 1 of FSRP countries include Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Togo. Phase 2 countries include Chad, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. The Program is expected to end December 2030. Ghana will implement the program for 5 years (expected end date December 2026) with a financing envelope of US$100 Million.
Implementation of FSRP2 is particularly important for Ghana’s food and nutrition security situation due to the uncertainty of the nature and severity of Covid-19 impacts across the agricultural value chain.


Overview of FSRP2 Components
The proposed programme would have five (5) components:
Component 1: Digital Advisory Services for Agriculture and Food Crisis Prevention & Management

  • Sub-Component 1.1 Upgrading Food Crisis Prevention and Monitoring Systems
  • Sub-Component 1.2 Strengthening Creation and Provision of Digital Advisory Services for Farmers

Component 2: Sustainability & Adaptive Capacity of the Food System’s Productive Base

  • Sub-Component 2.1: Adapting/Adopting Innovations and Technologies for Resilient Food Systems
  • Sub-Component 2.2: Strengthen Food Security Through Sustainable Practices in Targeted Areas

Component 3: Market Integration and Trade

  • Sub-component 3.1: Facilitate Trade Across Key Corridors and Consolidate Food Reserve System
  • Sub-component 3.2: Support to Development of Strategic Value chains

Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response Component
Component 5: Project Management

 The following are frameworks, plans and procedures under the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP2) – Phase 2:

Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) - Ghana

Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP)

Labour Management Procedures (LMP) - Ghana

Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF)

Stakeholder Engagement Plan - Ghana

Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP)

Background

 

The EU-GAP with total funding of €147million is being implemented over a period of 7 years (2017 – 2024) in 14 districts;  11 in the Upper West Region, 2 districts in North East Region and 1 in Savannah Region. The objective of the Programme is to provide critical infrastructural investments and strengthen integrated business models along selected value chains to stimulate inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The components of the Programme, budget and status of implementation has been presented as follows.

Project Development Goal and Objectives

The Savannah Investment Program (SIP) is designed within the context of the Ghana Medium-Term Development Framework (2018-2021), the Coordinated Program of Economic and Social Development Policies (2017-2024) and Agenda for Jobs: Creating Prosperity and Opportunity for All (2018-2021), that seeks to transform Ghana’s economy and society. SIP became effective February, 2020 and will be implemented for five years (2020-2025).  

The overall goal of the project is to reduce importation of meat through increased commercial broiler production, enhance competitiveness of the poultry industry and contribute to improved nutrition security. The project is expected to contribute to breed improvement of small ruminants under Government’s Rearing for Food and Jobs. This would be achieved through increased private sector investment, improved productivity and production of maize, soybean, poultry and small ruminants (goats, sheep and local chicken). At least 20,000 Ha of maize and soybean is expected to be put under cultivation by the project.

Introduction

The Ghana Agricultural Sector Investment Programme (GASIP) is a private sector-led value chains programme with a demand and market driven approach in its implementation. GASIP is MOFA’s main programme designed to provide the framework and institutional basis for long-term engagement and supplementary financing for scaling investments in value chains in Ghana. It is currently being funded by IFAD and the GOG. GASIP is nationwide with its National Project Office based in Accra with 2 Zonal offices in Kumasi and Accra.
