19 Feb 2014 And over to the Global Newsreel to share the news that the USAID-Financing Ghanaian Agriculture Project has launched in Accra, Ghana.
The five-year, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) project focuses on attracting finance options for rice, maize and soy value chains in Northern Ghana and we are told that the project will identify and develop agribusiness opportunities and facilitate investments from financial institutions through the use of business advisory service providers.
USAID-FinGAP was initiated in July 2013 and has since identified agribusiness investment opportunities in the three value chains.The project has also partnered with commercial banks, leasing companies, private equity and impact investors willing to provide necessary financing.
