The West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP) is a World Bank funded program, promoted by ECOWAS for participating countries. It is to strengthen food system risk management, improve the sustainability of the agricultural productive base and harmonize agricultural markets in the West African sub region. Participating countries as of December 2024 are Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sierra Leone, Togo and Chad. In Ghana, FSRP which is being implemented by Ghana’s Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA), is focusing on the intensified production, marketing and consumption of wholesome rice, maize, Broiler poultry, soyabeans (for the poultry) and tomatoes.
Description
The Government of Ghana (GoG) through the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) in collaboration with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is participating in the second phase of the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP2) under the World Bank Multi-Phase Programmatic Approach (MPA) to strengthen regional food system risk management, improve the sustainability of the productive base in targeted areas and to develop regional agricultural markets. The FSRP2 will contribute to enhancing the capacity of vulnerable households, families, communities, and food systems within the country to face uncertainty and the risk of shocks; to withstand and respond effectively to shocks; as well as to recover and adapt in a sustainable manner.
The Program includes three regional institutions: Economic Commission of West African States (ECOWAS), the Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS), and the West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF). Phase 1 of FSRP countries include Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Togo. Phase 2 countries include Chad, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. The Program is expected to end in December 2030. Ghana will implement the program for 5 years (expected end date December 2028) with a financing envelope of US$150 million. Implementation of FSRP is particularly important for Ghana’s food and nutrition security situation due to the uncertainty of the nature and severity of COVID-19 impacts across the agricultural value chain.
Program objectives
The main Program Development Objective (PDO) of the FSRP is to strengthen regional food system risk management, improve the sustainability of the productive base in targeted areas and to develop regional agricultural markets. The agricultural priority focus of Ghana in this program aligns with regional priorities outlined in the regional agricultural policy for West Africa with greater integration in markets in the sub-region. The specific PDOs are: (a)To establish a risk management architecture to provide early warning support to value chain actors at national and regional level.
