A report by the Third World Network (TWN) -Africa on the impact of the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) and One District One Factory (1D1F) has shown that low credit opportunities and lack of effective targeting are major challenges facing the programmes.
According to the Lead Researcher, Dr. Faustina Obeng, the lack of targeted credit support deprived many small holder farmers from full participation in the programme, affecting output.
Dr. Obeng said low credit opportunities, insufficient fertilizers and the lack of effective targeting are major challenges which hinder the output of the programme.
She noted that ineffective targeting of credit for small holder farmers in the hinterlands, particularly among female farmers made it difficult for them to scale up and contribute to the expected output.
