JP Driving Climate Resilience and Nature-Positive Growth

About this project

The Joint Programme (JP) for Ghana, across both phases, aims to catalyze the transition to sustainable, resilient, and equitable food systems through innovative financing and nature-positive soybean value chain development. The JP will pilot and scale climate-smart production, circular processing, nutrition-sensitive procurement, and policy alignment—enabling 10,000+ youth and women to engage in green agribusiness, improving dietary diversity for 1 million+ schoolchildren, and restoring 10,000+ hectares of degraded land. Expected yield increases of 40%, food loss reduction by 50%, and boosted processor capacity (30%) will strengthen food and income security. Under the programme, UNDP will explore the possibility of introducing a Loan Portfolio Guarantee Facility to de-risk private sector lending, enabling inclusive finance for farmers and MSMEs. Well also look at setting up a national Platform to harmonize policies and subsidies with climate and biodiversity commitments, fostering an enabling environment for sustained transformation.
