Northern Regional Minister praises GROW 2 Project for transforming women’s agriculture in Northern Ghana

The $25 million initiative, funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Mennonite Economic Development Associates since 2021, was designed to tackle climate and market barriers facing women smallholder farmers across the Northern, Upper West, and Savannah regions.
