According to a press invitation, the project will be launched in Accra by Ghana’s Agric Minister Clement Kofi Humado and the USAID Mission Director, Mr. Jim Bever.

The USAID-FinGAP is a five-year project with the goal of increasing access to finance and investment in the rice, maize and soy sectors in the northern part of the country.
