The Government of Ghana, through its Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy (FASDEP II), has highlighted the importance of inter-sectoral collaboration for developing the agricultural sector. The Government has also partnered with the private sector and civil society in implementing and reviewing policies and programmes to develop the agricultural sector. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been targeted for extension services, research and innovation development, and for agricultural mechanization. The Medium Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan (METASIP) 2011 – 2015 specifically targets a cost recovery of about 25.5 percent of the estimated domestic funds through Public-Private Partnerships (MOFA, 2011).
