Abstract

This impact case study looks at what has been achieved by a DFID-ESRC Growth Research Programme (DEGRP) project examining the effects of domestic agricultural market structure on poverty and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa.

Led by the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) in Ghana, the project played an important role in drawing attention towards the domestic constraints affecting the sub-Saharan African agriculture sector, as well as attracting funding for further research into the issue.
