Synopsis (short abstract) Cooperation between Ghana and FAO began in 1957 when the country gained independence and joined the FAO. Relations were strengthened further with the establishment of the FAO Regional Office for Africa in Accra in 1959, and the Organization has partnered in a broad range of areas since then. More recently, FAO’s assistance has focused on sustainable improvements in agricultural production; sustainable management of the environment and natural resources; and building resilient communities for reducing rural poverty.

Project

Improving Food and Environmental Security in Ghana - TCP/GHA/3503 2019

Also available in:

No results found.

Agriculture is the most important sector for the economy of Ghana, and for its continued growth, the use and management of agricultural inputs, such as pesticides, had to be improved. Since 2009, obsolete pesticides have been stored in the temporary storage facility at the Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Directorate office, close to a water body that provides water for the surrounding communities. The poor storage of stockpiles posed a severe risk to people's health and the environment. Therefore, this project was implemented to dispose of the hazardous chemicals and build the institutional capacity to manage them in the future, in order to strengthen the agricultural sector in Ghana and improve food security.
