Our story

A great concern turned into a shared mission.

Founded in 2016, AgricConnect is a national organisation working to eradicate poverty and improve food security by leveraging technology to connect smallholder farmers to ready markets through climate-smart and sustainable agriculture.

With adequate knowledge and understanding of development issues in Ghana, the creation of AgricConnect reflects a great concern about the need to address the lack of opportunities in our communities — particularly among vulnerable children, youth and women.

We work at the intersection of agriculture and development, renewable energy and clean drinking water, vocational skills, and policy influence. Our mission is to bridge the gap between smallholder farmers and thriving markets, using technology to reduce post-harvest losses, alleviate poverty and combat hunger.

Our mission

To empower disadvantaged communities out of poverty and support them to become engaged as change agents and drivers of their community’s economic landscape and sustainable development.

Our vision

A thriving, empowered community where every individual has the opportunity, resources and support to contribute to society’s well-being and sustainable development.

What guides us

Five values. One way of working.

Our values are not posters on a wall. They shape how we choose projects, build partnerships and treat people.

Empowerment

We foster self-reliance by helping people gain the skills, resources and confidence to shape their own future — and the resilience to weather setbacks.

Inclusion

Every person has inherent worth. We embrace diversity and make sure all voices — especially those of marginalised and vulnerable people — are heard.

Collaboration

We build partnerships with communities, government and other organisations so that shared goals and shared resources create greater impact.

Participation

Communities are active participants, not passive beneficiaries. They help plan, implement and monitor the work that affects their lives.

Innovation

We stay curious and embrace new ideas, tools and technologies to solve complex community challenges in practical ways.

Bring your idea.
