The launch of the GH¢100 million Ghana Agriculture Fund for Education and Transformation (GAFET) marks a significant milestone in Ghana's agricultural transformation agenda. The fund, which will support skills development, innovation, mechanization, and agricultural enterprise, is an essential component of the government's Feed Ghana Programme. This program aims to increase food production, modernize farming, expand irrigation and mechanization, promote agro-processing, reduce dependence on food imports, boost exports, and create sustainable jobs for young people and women. The GAFET fund will provide a national platform for collaboration between the public and private sectors, development partners, financial institutions, philanthropic organizations, alumni associations, and individuals to contribute to agricultural education and capacity development.
