What We Do
We provide practical agricultural training, livelihood development, consultancy services and community-based programmes across Ghana.
Climate-smart agriculture, mushroom production, snail farming, backyard farming, ruminants, poultry, beekeeping, Indigenous Micro-Organism (IMO) technology, and cash-crop plantations.
We equip farmers and communities with practical skills in climate-smart agriculture, animal husbandry, and low-barrier agricultural enterprises. Our training promotes food security, improves rural livelihoods, and ensures long-term environmental responsibility.
- Understand climate-smart agricultural practices and adaptation
- Master production techniques for mushroom, snail, and backyard farming
- Develop skills in ruminants, poultry, and beekeeping management
Alternative livelihood skills, urban livelihood training, women and youth empowerment, market linkages, and micro-enterprise development.
We deliver hands-on entrepreneurship and livelihood training designed to empower rural and urban populations, particularly women and youth. By building non-agricultural and alternative income sources, we foster inclusive economic growth and household resilience.
- Acquire practical skills in alternative and urban livelihood ventures
- Develop entrepreneurship, bookkeeping, and micro-business management skills

Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) approach, business-development services, access to finance, and supply-chain support.
We leverage the Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) methodology to strengthen market connections for rural producers. By providing business-development services, facilitating access to finance, and structuring supply chains, we ensure private sector systems benefit the poor.
- Understand and apply the Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) framework
- Design and deliver business-development services (BDS) for micro-enterprises

Natural-resource-based livelihoods, climate resilience, and eco-friendly community practices.
We help rural communities adapt to climate change by developing green, natural-resource-based livelihoods and promoting ecological stewardship. Our projects build local resilience, conserve vital ecosystems, and champion sustainable natural resource management.
- Identify and develop natural-resource-based green livelihoods
- Implement local climate change adaptation strategies and resilience practices
- Conserve natural resources, soil health, and local water bodies
Gender equity, youth inclusion, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), local governance, health, sanitation, baseline, and feasibility studies.
We conduct applied research, baseline surveys, and feasibility studies to guide evidence-based development interventions. Our research integrates critical cross-cutting themes including gender equity, youth inclusion, local governance, health and sanitation, and rigorous Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E).
- Design and conduct baseline, endline, and feasibility studies
- Establish robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems and indicators
- Mainstream gender equity and youth inclusion across project life cycles
Pre-retirement preparation, wealth management, health guidance, and alternative livelihood training for public and private sector employees.
We deliver structured pre-retirement seminars designed to prepare employees for a secure and active retirement. Working with institutions such as the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), we combine financial literacy, estate planning, and mental health preparation with practical training in profitable micro-enterprises like agriculture and soap-making.
