NGIDP supports female extension officer volunteers with bicycles

The Northern Ghana Integrated Development Project (NGIDP) has presented bicycles to 60 community women extension officers in the Nanumba South district.

The effort is to complement the inadequate extension services in the project districts.

The Northern Ghana Integrated Development Project is a multifaceted project that contributes to both ActionAid Ghana’s Mission Priority to Strengthen Resilient Livelihoods and contribute to Secure Climate Justice; and to address the root causes of violence against women and girls, reduce unpaid care work and promote decent work.

The objective of the project is “To contribute to rural poverty reduction in Ghana through economic development, adoption of environmentally-sustainable agriculture policies and practice, and greater access to social protection”.

In achieving this goal, the project has built the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) in 15 districts of Ghana to play an active role in the development of sustainable agriculture practices and policies, support poor, rural communities to enjoy greater access to social protection services and decent work opportunities.

The project is a four-year project that started in June 2019 and is in its final stages.

She pledged to ensure that the project continues.
