Inclusive participation of all relevant sector players – from within and outside the state and down to the grassroots level – in the development, implementation and monitoring of agricultural policy is one of CAADP’s foundation principles.CAADP has stimulated the private sector to establish a CAADP Private Sector Liaison Office, as well as a Consultative Group for a Competitive Ghana. The Liaison Office is under the general coordination of the Private Enterprise Foundation in Ghana, representing all key private sector stakeholders across agricultural value chains: input/seeds, agricultural equipment, farmers/farmer groups, financial sector, transport, aggregators, processors, retailers, end market users (restaurants, end consumers, etc).
