Workshop on Avoiding ‘Enclave Investments’

This workshop addressed the challenges of integrating small-holders into commercial agriculture in Ghana. By assessing the pros and cons of large-scale farming and socially inclusive models, the workshop aimed to propose initial principles that would inform the design of a World Bank-financed commercial agriculture project geared toward avoiding enclave investments.

Demand Driven Extension Service

This initiative aimed to improve the socio-economic well-being of smallholder tree crop farmers in West and Central Africa. The project focused on building capacity through demand-driven extension services in two districts (Adansi South and Sekyere East) in the Ashanti Region, where 279 farmers were trained in Integrated Crop and Pest Management (ICPM) practices using the Farmer Field School (FFS) methodology.
