Great that both FAO and AUC re-looking at this. My few cents...
Which policy changes/reforms are required to improve private investment for agribusiness in Ghana through PPPs?
Agricultural transformation plans will require a re-look with an investor mindset. The strategic planning components to ensure effective PPPs will include:
1. Identify public investments that complement likely private sector investments
2. Identify public investments with an inentional design to catalyze additional private sector engagements i.e. cost shares, risk guarantees, subsidies or innovation
3. Anticipate changes in the enabling environment that will be necessary to support increasing private sector engagement
That said, both private and public sector should identify/prioritize goals in a limited number of crop and livestock value chains, with cross cutting agricultural sector enablers like lower transportation costs or access to irrigation being drivers to high growth
