Northern Rural Growth Programme
The aim of the Northern Rural Growth Programme is to achieve sustainable rural livelihoods and food security for poor rural people in northern Ghana. Its specific objective is to develop remunerative commodities and food chains to generate incomes and agricultural surplus production that can then be directed towards markets in southern Ghana and abroad. The commodities potentially include industrial crops such as sorghum and oil seeds, shea nuts, fruits, vegetables and animal products. The programme focuses particularly on rural women and vulnerable groups.
