Good morning. I’m happy to join you today as we launch the U.S. interagency Global Food Security Strategy for Ghana and kick off its first activity, known as Feed the Future Ghana “Mobilizing Finance in Agriculture (MFA).” Supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the MFA is a $19 million, four-year activity that seeks to increase access to agricultural finance in select staples and commodity value chains such as maize, groundnut, shea, soy, mango, my personal favorite: cashew, and other high-value export commodities.
