Land Tenure and Natural Resource Access Issues in Northern Ghana – With a focus on women

The USAID Feed the Future (FtF) Ghana Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Project (AgNRM) seeks to reduce poverty through sustainable increases in wealth and nutrition from natural and non-traditional agriculture products by addressing environmental, agricultural, governance, and natural resource management challenges. Using an integrated landscape approach that aligns development with conservation and responds to the interdependencies of ecosystems and livelihoods, AgNRM ensures integration of food security and water systems and highlights the importance of these factors to nutrition and resilience. The project is implemented under four outcomes: 1) Increased Incomes from Natural Resource Products; 2) Improved Food and Nutritional Security; 3) Increased Farmer and Community Security/Access to Land and Natural Resources; and 4) Strengthened Environmental Stewardship.
