The Agriculture Stakeholder Convening Platform was introduced by the Ghana Incentive-Based Risk-Sharing System for Agricultural Lending Project (GIRSAL) in an effort to offer sustainable solutions for the agricultural industry.
The agricultural industry in Ghana faces a number of difficulties, from a lack of a platform for important parties to continue their discourse to insufficient institutional enforcement of standards.
Thus, the “Agribusiness Public-Private Partnership Platform” of the Agriculture Stakeholder Convening Platform will concentrate on offering workable answers to these problems.
The platform’s main goal will be to give the commercial sector and institutions of the public sector a way to identify and address pressing problems in the agricultural financing and agribusiness sectors.
Under this initiative, GIRSAL will also provide a sustainable and coordinated platform for dialogue among key stakeholders on technical issues affecting the agriculture sector.
The launch of the platform falls in line with GIRSAL’s 5-years strategic plan aimed at championing the transformation of the agric sector to ensure growth.
This platform is expected to increase productivity, promote a thriving agribusiness environment, encourage investment in the sector, and improve terms of trade and credit.
GIRSAL is well-placed to undertake this initiative because its services benefit the business objectives of both the private and public sectors of increasing investment in the agricultural sector.
