USADF's Ghana Program

Over the past decade, Ghana has struggled to address rising levels of poverty, with nearly 40 percent of the population falling below the poverty level, and rates of poverty ranging as high as 70-80 percent in some regions. This has been compounded by high inflation rates and lack of access to capital, technology, and the skills training that would enable the small and medium-enterprise (SME) sector to realize its potential for creating greater employment and income-generating opportunities for the vast majority of Ghanaians.

It was in response to such needs that USADF's Partner Organization in Ghana, the Integrated Productivity and Development Centre (INPRODEC), was established in 2001. INPRODEC seeks to improve the socio-economic status of the underprivileged in Ghana through the provision of innovative and reliable financial and technical services to grassroots groups and individuals. INPRODEC is dedicated to ensuring a steady increase in the number of Ghanaian SMEs which have been transformed into highly profitable, export-oriented and sustainable enterprises.

INPRODEC's priority funding sectors include high value-added agro-processing, information and communication technology, salt mining and processing for export, garment and textile manufacturing, exportable handicrafts, eco-tourism, and HIV/AIDS programs with micro-enterprise components.
