UK Department for International Development IMPACT EVALUATION OF THE SADA MILLENNIUM VILLAGES PROJECT IN NORTHERN GHANA: ENDLINE SUMMARY REPORT

The MVP was first piloted in Kenya and Ethiopia, and in 2006 was launched at scale. In 2012, the UK Department for International Development (DFID) funded US$11 million into an MVP in Northern Ghana that ran until December 2016. The project targeted a cluster of communities of up to 26,500 people in the West Mamprusi, Mamprugu Moagduri and Builsa South districts of northern Ghana – an extremely poor area with 80% and 90% of the population living below the national poverty line. The project was spearheaded by the Earth Institute (Columbia University), with operations overseen by the Millennium Promise and the semi-autonomous Government of Ghana (GoG) agency, Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA).
