The Ghana Strategy Support Program (GSSP), established in 2005, produced critical evidence that contributed to the foundation of the country’s Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) process, roundtable, and country compact. For example, in 2008, GSSP’s paper “Accelerating Growth and Structural Transformation: Ghana’s Options for Reaching Middle-Income Country Status” was used as an input to the World Bank’s country economic memorandum and quoted in FASDEP II— Ghana’s agricultural policy document. GSSP also contributed its technical expertise and support to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, which helped to advance Ghana’s agricultural statistics system. In 2011, the ministry’s statistical unit piloted an improved annual survey, attracting financial support from USAID to scale up the survey to more districts in 2014.
The Outcome Brochures show how IFPRI’s food policy research has contributed to reducing poverty and improving food security for the world’s poor in a number of key areas. With a focus on a particular country, region, or donor organization, the brochures highlight the outcomes, use or influence of the IFPRI’s research programs.
As part of IFPRI’s 40th Anniversary celebration, 12 stories were published that reflect on the Institute’s work on key issues, such as social protection, gender, nutrition, and partnerships with key countries, including Bangladesh and Ethiopia.
Impact Assessment work examines the policy and development outcomes and contributions to impact of IFPRI's research.
