The NGGA project aims to increase the capacity of Ghana’s decentralized agricultural structures at the regional and district levels, improve accountability and performance efficiency of these decentralized agricultural structures, build community consensus, and strengthen civil society’s demand for better service delivery in agriculture in partnership with the private sector. The activity also has the related purpose of enabling government and civil society to be more effective in mitigating conflicts related to agriculture and natural resource management.
In line with the project result area 3 (Component 3) which seeks to enhance women’s participation in local governance and increase access to agricultural information and opportunities, the Women in Agriculture Platforms (WAPs) serves as platforms for the active participation of women in local governance and decision making to ensure gender responsiveness in the agricultural policies and programmes at district, regional and national levels. This training is therefore aimed at building knowledge, skills and attitude of WAPs members
