TAILIEUCHUNG - Adoption and Impacts of Improved Maize Production Technology: A Case Study of the Ghana Grains Development Project

This report, one of a series of adoption case studies coordinated by the Impacts Assessment and Evaluation Group (IAEG) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), examines the adoption by Ghanaian maize farmers of improved production technologies developed through the Ghana Grains Development Project (GGDP). The GGDP, which ran from 1979 to1997, was an agricultural research and extension project implemented primarily by the Ghanaian Crops Research Institute (CRI), with technical assistance from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), and funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

CIMMYT or is an internationally funded nonprofit scientific research and training organization. Headquartered in Mexico the Center works with agricultural research institutions worldwide to improve the productivity profitability and sustainability of maize and wheat systems for poor farmers in developing countries. It is one of 16 similar centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research CGIAR . The CGIAR comprises over 55 partner countries international and regional organizations and private foundations. It is co-sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization FAO of the United Nations the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development World Bank the United Nations Development Programme UNDP and the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP . Financial support for CIMMYT s research agenda also comes from many other sources including foundations development banks and public and private agencies. F u T Ụ R E HARDEST CIMMYT .
