2. The Coalition of Women in Governance, who were trained by THP-Ghana under the We Know Politics Project, organized community durbars (meetings) and radio programs to sensitize the communities ahead of the December 2010 District Assembly elections.
3. The educational sessions and demonstrations organized by the Agriculture Trainers of Trainers as well as the farm inputs support offered by THP-Ghana, has made it possible for farmers in the epicenters to adopt improved farming practices, resulting in a rise in farm output and incomes. Some of the farmers won awards during the Farmers’ Day celebrations.
