Agriculture Minister cut-sod for 175-hectare water conservation project at Anunuso

Mr Opoku speaking at the ceremony, explained that the project was an integral part of the government’s ‘Feed Ghana Program,’ specifically under the ‘Irrigation for Wealth Creation’ initiative, designed to ensure a more reliable water supply for rice farmers.

The project is a key component of the West Africa Food System Resilience Program (FSRP) – LOT 1, which aims to bolster agricultural resilience and enhance food security through the development of selected inland valley irrigation projects in the Ashanti Region.

The West Africa Food System Resilience Program (FSRP) is a comprehensive initiative by the government of Ghana, developed in collaboration with ECOWAS and funded by the World Bank, and is concurrently being implemented across eight other West African nations.
