evolution of land tenure institutions in Western Ghana and Sumatra
Publication évaluée par des pairsRapports et recherchesdécembre, 2001Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Asia du sud-est, Afrique, Asie, Ghana, IndonésieThis research report examines three questions that are central to IFPRI research: How do property-rights institutions affect efficiency and equity? How are resources allocated within households? Why does this matter from a policy perspective? As part of a larger multicountry study on property rights to land and trees, this study focuses on the evolution from customary land tenure with communal ownership toward individualized rights, and how this shift affects women and men differently.This study’s key contribution is its multilevel econometric analysis of efficiency and equity issues.

An economywide, multimarket model assessment
Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2007Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, Ghana"An economywide, multimarket model is constructed for Ghana and the effects of agricultural soil erosion on crop yields are explicitly modeled at the subnational regional level for eight main staple crops. The model is used to evaluate the aggregate economic costs of soil erosion by taking into account economywide linkages between production and consumption, across sectors and agricultural subsectors... Sustainable land management (SLM) is the key to reducing agricultural soil loss.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2018Afrique australe, Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Asie méridionale, Asie, Afrique, Bangladesh, Ghana, ZambieAs climate change makes precipitation shocks more common, policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in protecting food systems and nutrition outcomes from the damaging effects of droughts and floods (Wheeler and von Braun, 2013). Increasing the resilience of nutrition and food security outcomes is especially critical throughout agrarian parts of the developing world, where human subsistence and well-being are directly affected by local rainfall.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2017Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, GhanaThe focus in this paper is on two relatively large maize-based contract farming (CF) schemes with fixed input packages (Masara and Akate) and a number of smaller and more flexible CF schemes in a remote region in Ghana (Upper West). Results show that these schemes led to improved technology adoption and yield increases. In addition, a subset of maize farmers with high yield improvements due to CF participation had high gross margins. However, on average, yields were not high enough to compensate for higher input requirements and cost of capital.

Publication évaluée par des pairsArticles et Livresdécembre, 2003Afrique, Afrique sub-saharienne, Asie, Asie méridionale, Bangladesh, Népal, Afrique du Sud, Éthiopie, Ghana, ZambieThis book synthesizes IFPRI's recent work on the role of gender in household decisionmaking in developing countries, provides evidence on how reducing gender gaps can contribute to improved food security, health, and nutrition in developing countries, and gives examples of interventions that actually work to reduce gender disparities. It is an accessible, easy-to-read synthesis of the gender research that IFPRI has undertaken in the 1990s.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2016Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, GhanaContract farming (CF) is attractive as a possible private-sector-led strategy for improving smallholder farmers’ welfare. Yet many CF schemes suffer from high turnover of participating farmers and struggle to survive. So far, the dynamics of CF participation have remained largely unexplored. We employ duration analysis to examine factors affecting entry into and exit from different maize CF schemes in northern Ghana, focusing specifically on the impact of development projects on CF entry and exit.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2016Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, GhanaThe Ghana Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) Baseline Evaluation Survey (GARBES) survey was implemented from May to July 2014 as part of IFPRI’s Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Africa RISING. Africa RISING aims to create opportunities for smallholder farmers in Africa south of the Sahara (through action research and development partnerships) by sustainably intensifying their farming systems and improving food, nutrition, and income security.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2016Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, GhanaImproving women’s access to land is high on the agricultural policy agenda of both governmental and non-governmental agencies. Yet, the determinants and rationale of gendered access to land are not well understood. This paper argues that gender relations are more than the outcomes of negotiations within households. It explains the importance of social norms, perceptions, and formal and informal rules shaping access to land for male and female farmers at four levels: (1) the household/family, (2) the community, (3) the state, and (4) the market. The framework is applied to Ghana.
