To analyse the dynamics of agricultural commercialisation and agrarian change across East, West and Southern Africa, an e-dialogue was convened by the Agricultural Policy Research Programme (APRA) in partnership with the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and Foresight4Food (F4F) on 20 January 2022. The event began with participants engaging in three parallel regional presentations and discussions for East, West and Southern Africa, and culminated in a continental-level panel involving expert commentators and audience questions.
Dr. Fred Dzanku, ISSER Senior Research Fellow and APRA’s Ghana country lead was among four researchers that spoke at the West Africa regional session. He discussed approaches that can be taken in Ghana to achieve inclusive oil palm commercialisation.
