Screenshot Audio By Carbonatix The National Development Planning Commission, in collaboration with Results for Development (R4D), the World Bank and UNICEF Ghana, has organised a two-day pilot workshop aimed at strengthening district-level capacity for food systems and nutrition programming. The workshop, held from April 15 to 16, 2026, at Aqua Safari Hotel in Ada, brought together district officials from Ada East, Ningo-Prampram and South Tongu, alongside technical representatives from key Ministries, Departments and Agencies to support coordinated and effective planning. Speaking on behalf of the Director-General of NDPC, Mrs Alice Amekudzi highlighted the importance of food systems and nutrition in Ghana’s development agenda, noting that the country continues to face a triple burden of malnutrition — undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies — driven largely by weak and non-responsive food systems.
