The Government of Ghana has expressed its support for the second phase of the West Africa Livestock Marketing Support Programme (PACBAO), an ECOWAS initiative aimed at strengthening the livestock value chain and reducing reliance on imported meat. The programme also seeks to build a more vibrant livestock industry across the West African sub-region.
The Programme, valued at $10Million and funded by the Swiss Development Cooperation will run from December 1, 2024 to October 3, 2028.

The announcement was made at a knowledge-sharing workshop in Accra, where it was noted that the first phase of PACBAO had already delivered significant results in Ghana. Officials assured of greater commitment to ensuring the success of the second phase.
The initial phase which took place between 2018 and 2023, was credited with transforming key areas of Ghana’s livestock sector.
