Strengthening Coherence between Agriculture and Social Protection to Combat Poverty and Hunger in Africa

Ghana country case study report

This study took place in Ghana (Accra and Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem Municipal District) 20- 30 April 2015. The study was led by Luke Harman of the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) along with local partners Dr Kofi Marfo and Mrs Joyce Haleegoah. The Ghana country study set out to focus particularly on the linkages between one of the country’s flagship social protection programmes – the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) cash transfer programme – and complementary agricultural services. However the study also aimed to allow for a focus on other programmes and issues as they arose, along with a focus on broader issues of coherence and coordination mechanisms at different levels.
