provided in the Northern Horticultural Zone to nine Farmer
Based Organisations (FBO’s) in the West Mamprusi District
of the Northern Region in Business Capacity Building from
October, 2008 to December, 2010. Farmer Based Organisations
(FBO’s) of 450 farmers consisting of 65.10% males and 34.90%
females were trained by the authors under the Millennium
Development Authority (MiDA) Agricultural Project. The
FBO’s were trained on nine modules in Business Capacity
Building and five modules on Organisation of Commercial
Business over a period of six weeks. Nine Action Business
Plans were developed for the nine FBO’s to access financial
support from the MiDA participating financial institutions in the
horticultural zone for the commercial development of the
farmers’ organisations.
