Descripción
The investment framework was developed to support Ghana in the area of resource mobilization using climate smart agriculture (CSA) as an entry point. As a first step it covers nine selected districts but could be used by adjoining districts as agro ecological considerations were taken into account. The methodology that was used in selection of districts and other instruments used for data collection, generation and analyses are presented as well. For each of the districts the report begins with a summary results per district which could be taken as the executive summary. The district profile is presented which captures information on the district capital, location and land area. The physical and natural environment which highlights the topography and some natural resources that the district is endowed with is mentioned. This also includes the rainfall distribution as well as temperature variations within the year. The demographic characteristics which features the estimated population according to recently held national census provides information on the socio-cultural analysis of households as well as their income sources. Information on the identified value chain commodities and the number of farmers engaged in them are presented also. In addition, the socio-cultural and financial indicators underpinning each identified crop and livestock value chain are discussed. An assessment of the various value chain segments and associated gender characterization are presented. A key aspect is the CSA practices identified and the gender consideration in the choice and use and use of various practices. Each prioritized crop and livestock value chain was matched with the system of CSA practice undertaken as well as the participatory decisions based on the prioritized value chain. The district reports end with a conclusion on the main points. A general conclusion is presented on the whole study with some recommendations.
