Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Agrarian Studies, grade: 1, University of Cape Coast, course: Bsc Agriculture, language: English, abstract: Ghana has achieved substantial poverty reduction over the last 15 years and is on track of reducing its poverty rate by half before the target date of 2015 for the Millennium development Goals. The objective of this study is to document this remarkable achievement, and more broadly to review the evidence on a range of issues related to poverty reduction among cocoa farmers in Asikumah-Odoben-Brakwa of the Central Region using the most recent household survey data available The study aims to determine the contributions of cocoa farming activities to household income and consumption; to determine their level of access to basic services ; to determine the contribution of cocoa into the general well-being of the people and to make recommendations on how the cocoa industry could be used to improve the living standard of the Ghanaian rural communities. The study would rely on some comparable selected Core Welfare Indicators Survey (CWIQ) for 1997 and 2003 pertaining to Asikumah-Odoben-Brakwa District. In conclusion, the study found out that cocoa farming coupled with government provision of other social services has contributed in reducing poverty in the Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa District thus most cocoa farming households are above the upper poverty line. Notwithstanding that, the study strongly recommends that government and other key stakeholders look at improving the health needs, provision of decent housing scheme and monitoring the usage of cocoa weighing scales to guaranty fairness.
Book Synopsis Multidimensional Poverty, Approach by the Fuzzy Set Theory by : Arnold Fottsoh Fokam

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study allowed us to measure poverty in terms of living conditions by using the fuzzy sets theory and breaking down this poverty by household characteristics. Subsequently, we evaluated the impact of the administration of land and the type of practiced cultures on the living conditions of cocoa farmer households. To make this, we have constructed a multidimensional poverty index with Multiple Component Analysis (MCA) and the fuzzy set theory. By using data from departments of Soubre and Gueyo from the survey on cocoa production systems and livelihoods of populations in areas of cocoa production, conducted by National School of Statistics and Applied Economics (NSSAE) of Abidjan, we evaluated to 43.25% the level of deprivation of the households in these cocoa farmer two cities. We also found that the main dimensions of displacement, ownership of durable goods, education, agricultural equipment, access to finance and training are the key drivers of poverty in households of cocoa farmers of Soubre and Gueyo. Similarly, associating other cultures to cocoa and the fact to own their land improve the living conditions of households cocoa farmers in these two cities.

Book Synopsis Welfare and Poverty Impacts of Cocoa Price Policy Reform in Cote D'Ivoire by : Roy Katayama
Download or read book Welfare and Poverty Impacts of Cocoa Price Policy Reform in Cote D'Ivoire written by Roy Katayama and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cote d'Ivoire is the world's leading cocoa producer, supplying nearly 40 percent of world cocoa production. Developments in the cocoa sector can have significant implications for poverty reduction and shared prosperity given that the sector is a source of livelihood for about one-fifth of the population, as well as an important source of export and government revenues. Cocoa pricing has always been a major focus of public policy in the country, and in 2011 the government initiated a new round of cocoa sector reforms seeking to stimulate cocoa production and to secure the livelihoods of cocoa farmers through guaranteed minimum farm-gate prices. Policymakers will certainly like to know the likely impacts of this price policy reform on household welfare and poverty. This paper uses a nonparametric approach to policy incidence analysis to estimate the first-order effects of this policy reform. To assess the pro-poorness of the reform in cocoa pricing, variations in poverty induced by the policy are compared to a benchmark case. While increasing the cocoa farm-gate price has a potential to reduce poverty among cocoa farmers, it turns out that the increase in 2015-2016 translates into a relatively small drop in overall poverty. This variation is assessed to be weakly pro-poor. It is likely that this poverty impact can be amplified by additional policy interventions designed to address the key constraints facing the rural economy such as productivity constraints stemming from factors such as lack of relevant research and development, weak extension services, poor transportation and storage infrastructure, and generally poor provision of relevant public goods. Addressing these issues require a coherent policy framework that can be effectively implemented by accountable institutions to increase the role of agriculture as an engine of inclusive growth in Cote d'Ivoire.

Book excerpt: Ghana is an agrarian economy with cocoa being the most important crop in terms of its contribution to exchange earnings and employment for the country. Child labour has always been a part of cocoa cultivation for decades. However negative international media coverage and pressure from western civil society organizations on the issue recently has led to several interventions to eliminate child labour in cocoa farming in Ghana. The interventions have been implemented in several districts in Ghana for several years with reports of some initial success in eliminating child labour. There is however limited knowledge on how cocoa farmers have been responding to these interventions and how the interventions are impacting cocoa growing communities. This research therefore sought find out how cocoa farmers have been responding to the interventions to eliminate cocoa child labour in cocoa farming and how the interventions are impacting cocoa growing communities.

Book Synopsis Market Effects of Farmer Field Schools in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Francis Tsiboe
Download or read book Market Effects of Farmer Field Schools in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Francis Tsiboe and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billions of dollars are invested in development programs, all of which have a monitoring and evaluation component and consider only the programs' intended effects while ignoring their market effects on prices. This study analyzes the market effects of the Cocoa Livelihood Program (CLP) in Ghana. To evaluate both the benefits to cocoa farmers and market outcomes of CLP on cocoa and other noncocoa markets, this study simulates a partial-equilibrium farm household model. The analysis shows that CLP participating households benefit by U.S.$154 per household, while nonparticipating households benefit (through market outcome) by only U.S.$21 per household, at the 2016 participation rate of 6 percent. The net welfare changes in staple food markets (maize, rice, cassava, and yam) attributable to CLP, is estimated at U.S.$850 per household. A rise in the CLP participation rate leads to a decline in the Ghanaian cocoa price. However, net gains from the program become negative at participation rates of more than 60 percent, as supply increases and the cocoa price falls. This result suggests that CLP participation could be expanded up to 60 percent of Ghana's cocoa producing households. However, expanding cocoa demand is equally as important as expanding production if participation rates exceed 60 percent.

Book Synopsis Assessing the Adaptive Capacity of Smallholder Cocoa Farmers to Climate Variability in the Adansi South District of the Ashanti Region, Ghana by : Frank Baffour-Ata
Download or read book Assessing the Adaptive Capacity of Smallholder Cocoa Farmers to Climate Variability in the Adansi South District of the Ashanti Region, Ghana written by Frank Baffour-Ata and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assessed the adaptive capacity of smallholder cocoa farmers to climate variability in the Adansi South District of the Ashanti Region, Ghana. The specific objectives were: (i) to assess the perception of the farmers to climate variability; (ii) to determine the perceived effects of climate variability on cocoa production in the district; and; (iii) to evaluate the adaptive capacity of the farmers to manage climate risks. The study used questionnaire surveys with 150 smallholder cocoa farmers, key informant interviews and focus group discussions in three selected communities (Afiaso, Tonkoase and Amudurase). A variety of capital assets (social, financial, human, physical and natural) were utilized to conceptualize smallholder cocoa farmers' adaptive capacity. Smallholder cocoa farmers reported changes in the onset and duration of rains, rising temperature and increasing windstorms as the key variabilities in climate in the selected communities. The farmers perceived increased incidence of drought and cocoa failure, prevalence of diseases and pest invasion and decreased farmer income as the key effects on their cocoa production. Findings also revealed that cumulatively, all the selected communities in Adansi South District had a moderate adaptive capacity (0.531). The study therefore concluded that the smallholder cocoa farmers in Adansi South District of Ghana have a moderate adaptive capacity and recommends that appropriate policies aimed at enhancing the adaptive capacity of the smallholder cocoa farmers must be formulated by policy makers so as to minimize their vulnerabilities to climate risks.

Book Synopsis The Triangle of Microfinance by : Manfred Zeller
Download or read book The Triangle of Microfinance written by Manfred Zeller and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s when the microfinance revolution began, much has been accomplished, but the field became more refined in the 1990s as a result of shifts in paradigms, strategies, and development practices. This volume addresses the three policy objectives that now occupy those who wish to use credit as a development tool: financial sustainability of microfinance institutions, outreach to the poor, and welfare impact. Inevitable tradeoffs exist among these objectives, and the book advances an analytical framework that assists students of and experts in microfinance to identify the tradeoffs and synergies at the institutional level and in the policy environment. The book features a wealth of empirical data and innovative analytical studies, and critically discusses the role of public support for microfinance institutions (MFIs) in light of the social costs and benefits generated by such financial systems. The book is organized into five parts. The first discusses the demand for and access to financial services by the poor, emphasizing that demand-oriented, pro-poor financial services are crucial in reaching the poor. The second is concerned with two of the criteria used to evaluate MFIsoutreach and financial sustainability. The third features innovative econometric studies seeking to evaluate the impact of MFIs at the household level. The fourth looks at the role of both public- and private-sector institutions in developing sustainable financial systems. And the fifth summarizes implications for policy and research. Given the lack of sound, empirical literature on microfinance, this volume is sure to advance knowledge and research methodology in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no peace with hunger. Only promises and promises and no fulfillment. If there is no job, there is no peace. If there is nothing to cook in the pot, there is no peace. - Oscar, a 57-year-old man, El Gorri n, Colombia They want to construct their houses near the road, and they cannot do that if they do not have peace with their enemies. So peace and the road have developed a symbiotic relation. One cannot live without the other. . . . - A community leader from a conflict-affected community on the island of Mindanao, Philippines Most conflict studies focus on the national level, but this volume focuses on the community level. It explores how communities experience and recover from violent conflict, and the surprising opportunities that can emerge for poor people to move out of poverty in these harsh contexts. 'Rising from the Ashes of Conflict' reveals how poor people s mobility is shaped by local democracy, people s associations, aid strategies, and the local economic environment in over 100 communities in seven conflict-affected countries, including Afghanistan. The findings suggest the need to rethink postconflict development assistance. This is the fourth volume in a series derived from the Moving Out of Poverty study, which explores mobility from the perspectives of poor people in more than 500 communities across 15 countries.
