The meeting held on January 30, 2026 in Accra engaged stakeholders and partners on the Foundation’s intentional and tactical approaches in implementing its intervening actions and initiatives.
The Founder and Executive Chair of Agrihouse Foundation, Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa in her open remarks stated that, the meeting aims to align with the foundation’s theme for the year 2026 of being intentional and tactical with their programmes. As such, engaging with its publics on its roadmap will help to make more measurable impacts going forward.
“we are beginning the year with our activities and as we always do, normally, we will come to your offices to share with you what we are doing, our actions and approaches and how they can influence the overall goal, but we thought of doing something special this year scale up with our initiatives. We are happy to have you all here as we proceed.”
Ms Akosa mentioned that, “2026 being the ‘Year of Intentional, Tactical, and Well Thought-Through Agrifood Systems Actions’ required that the foundation engages its partners and industry actors for broader consultation, taking feedback and recommendations for decision making and strategic actions with the implementation of our programmes.”
“And as this year has been declared the international year of the woman farmer, we will focus more on our women who are doing well as a farmer or agripreneur.”
Ms Akosa underscores the importance of partnership in achieving success in the agricultural sector. She highlighted that Agrihouse Foundation has been successful in implementing its projects, programmes and interventions through partnerships with other organizations both locally and internationally over the years, which has produced real measurable results, thereby commending their support and collaborations.
According to her, these results from the Foundation’s interventions depict the need to consistently engage stakeholders and partners through their interventions to address lingering gaps and challenges in the agricultural sector, contributing to developing sustainable agri-food systems while creating opportunities for women, people with disabilities and the youth.
