Company Profile Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a research and policy nonprofit that discovers and promotes effective solutions to global poverty problems. IPA brings together researchers and decision-makers to design, rigorously evaluate, and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the evidence created is used to improve the lives of the world’s poor. In recent decades, trillions of dollars have been spent on programs designed to reduce global poverty, but clear evidence on which programs succeed is rare, and when evidence does exist, decision-makers often do not know about it. IPA exists to bring together leading researchers and these decision-makers to ensure that the evidence we create leads to tangible impact on the world. Since its founding in 2002, IPA has worked with over 575 leading academics to conduct over 650 evaluations in 51 countries. This research has informed hundreds of successful programs that now impact millions of individuals worldwide. Job Description
Project Summary
The Marketing, Tractor Coordination and Technology Adoption project dubbed – “TraCTA” is an agricultural research project in collaboration with local partners in the agriculture value chain seeking to assess the constraints faced by smallholder farmers in Northern Ghana that may hinder greater productivity, profitability and improved welfare. The study will examine barriers such as: thin output markets, accessibility of tractor services, and lack of information on best farming practices.
The study will be carried out in 199 communities, reaching over 3,500 project participants including maize and soya farmers. The geographic focus will be in the Northern Region of Ghana, across 6 districts, including: Yendi, Gusheigu, Karaga, Mion, Savelugu and Saboba.
The project aims at exploring and promoting the adoption of improved agricultural technologies, timely access to land preparation as well as accessing the output market among small-holder farmers in northern Ghana. The project will conduct an Endline survey for assessment in the selected districts.
TraCTA is looking to recruit enumerators on a short-term contract of 3 – 4 weeks to carry out the project’s Endline survey.
