The baobab value chain-how ORGIIS is empowering women in the upper east region of Ghana in agriculture.

ORGIIS Ghana, also, Organisation for Indigenous Initiatives and Sustainability, is a local non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) in the Upper East Region. The organisation is on a mission to empower people using local knowledge to create sustainable communities through indigenous and endogenous development. Its strategic location in Paga allows the organisation to enjoy economic and administrative relations with its Francophone and Anglophone neighbours. They include Burkina Faso, La Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger and Togo. This is made possible through the active Ghana-Burkina Faso border at Paga.

ORGIIS undertakes projects across its domain of interest through its field offices. They facilitate these projects through partnerships and collaborations with other institutions that share mutual interests. Since its inception in 2011, ORGIIS Ghana has adopted innovative and cutting edge approaches to spur local initiatives in sustainable development. ORGIIS Ghana always aims to leverage appropriate indigenous knowledge to overcome the challenges of underdevelopment, good governance, entrenched poverty, climate change and environmental degradation in the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) zone. It contributes to sustainable local development by using scientific knowledge in the fields of agronomy, extension, anthropology, sociology, economics, conservation, and ICT for development, interfacing it with indigenous knowledge to ensure high impact and enhanced interventions on the socioeconomic transformation of its target populations in local communities
