Beneficiaries of the BRIIng Project, an initiative funded by the Research and Innovation Systems for Africa (RISA) Fund, have expressed enthusiasm about the initiative, emphasizing the need for more research-driven interventions to enhance food processing in their communities.
They also highlighted key challenges, including limited funding, inadequate promotional support, and the need for mini-factories to preserve produce. "We need more research-driven interventions to enhance food processing in our communities to ensure effective business delivery. "Even though we are facing a lot of challenges such as funding and advertisement of our product, among others, there should be a way out." The BRIIng Project has officially concluded at the University of Ghana, Legon.
The project, which aimed to empower small-scale businesses in rural communities, focused on bridging the gap between research, industry innovation, and technology adoption to drive Ghana's economic growth.
Themed "Bridging the Research-Industry Innovation and Assimilation Gap through Technology Capacity Building in Rural Ghana," the initiative brought together project leaders, stakeholders, and beneficiaries to celebrate its impact and achievements.
