GhanaVeg’s Second Annual  Partner Meeting

GhanaVeg organised its second annual partner meeting on February 21, 2017, at the Oak Plaza Hotel, Accra. The meeting, which brought together all grant-recipient companies, was held to create synergies among the various projects and to allow them share their challenges and successes.

Project partners made presentations of the scope of their projects and itemized the key deliverables towards which they were working. The companies shared experiences of how they surmounted certain production related issues and market challenges. Also significant was how they would relate with GhanaVeg in terms of meeting their reporting obligations.

As part of the activities, a “speed-dating” session was held to build business linkages among the projects through a well-coordinated face-to-face interaction among the partners.  The “speed-dating was aimed at getting partners connect with one another and to identify how one could complement the other, even if by commercial arrangements.  In the end, the meeting allowed the partners present, to better understand one other and paved the way for sector-wide collaborations among them.

Currently about 26 companies are working within different value chains of the vegetable sector from production to processing. See pictures
