On Wednesday April 3rd 2024, we at the Northern Patriots in Research and Advocacy (NORPRA) Office were thrilled to welcome a visit by a team from USAID Ghana and the Feed the Future Ghana Trade and Investment activity (GTI). We deeply appreciate the entire team for traveling to Bolgatanga, Upper East Region, and seeing their generous support. Their visit was a special moment for NORPRA. It allowed us to share our work and the progress we’ve made towards supporting 600 women in 12 rural communities in 5 districts in the Upper East Region of Ghana in the processing of groundnut and soya beans into paste, cake, oil, milk, and sausage and in increasing supply to new and bigger markets, including domestic supermarkets. Seeing the USAID team’s enthusiasm and commitment to the NORPRA cause was truly inspiring.
The open discussions during the visit were invaluable. We gained important insights from USAID’s feedback and suggestions, which will help us further refine our efforts. Most importantly, your visit served as a powerful reminder of our collective power in creating positive change. Together, USAID, GTI, and the NORPRA staff are making a real difference in the lives of people in Bolga.
