Ghana Inclusive Agricultural Transformation (GIAT) Programme, a programme component within the framework of the Partnership for Inclusive Agricultural Transformation in Africa (PIATA) has had a virtual launch on Monday, November 9, 2020.
The Partnership for Inclusive Agricultural Transformation in Africa (PIATA) is a strategic partnership launched in 2017 that enables African agriculture actors to do business differently as they support leaders to drive an inclusive agricultural transformation.
The programme in Ghana spanning 2020 to 2022 aims at providing an inclusive approach to unlocking markets for participating smallholder farmers.
PIATA members include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) with the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) as the implementing partner through its alliance of partners. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has recently joined the partnership and brings greater focus on regional food markets and food trade through policy predictability and market systems development. The Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, BMZ is currently a non-voting member and a resource partner, co-financing AGRA’s strategy in Burkina Faso and Ghana.
