Job Description

REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS

FOSTERING WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN GHANA’S AGRICULTURAL POLICY PROCESS
LINK-RFA-GHANA-2024/0001

Feed the Future Ghana Policy LINK Activity (Policy LINK), supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is inviting Ghanian civil society organizations (CSOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and accredited institutions of higher learning that have expertise working with Ghanaian women farmers or working in the agriculture policy space to submit applications for a grant activity call.

Policy LINK seeks to partner with women-focused organization(s) through a grant to carry out strategic interventions especially in the 17 districts of USAID’s Zone of Influence (ZOI) – Northern, North-East, Upper West, and Upper East Regions that will integrate women and other vulnerable groups in the development of policies related to the agriculture sector and

its value chain.

Broad Results/Outcomes

The primary goal of Policy LINK’s Fostering Women’s Leadership and Active Participation in Ghana’s Agriculture Policy Process activity is to strengthen the integration of women within the country’s agricultural policy process. Specifically, the objectives for this grant are to:

1. Enhance women’s access to relevant information and resources related to agriculture policy/decision-making and implementation.

2. Strengthen the leadership capabilities of women in the agricultural sector, enabling

them to effectively advocate for their interests.

3. Facilitate the active participation of women in various agriculture-related dialogues and programs.

4. Enable women to communicate their concerns and recommendations, and those of their communities, to policy/decision-makers to promote their integration into agriculture policies and interventions.
