The head of Women in Agriculture Department at the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality, Madam Hilda Huadzi has acknowledged that women benefited massively from Rite FM’s Mobilizing Action towards Agric Sector Improvement (MAASI) project.
According to madam Huadzi, the intervention of the MAASI project has given recognition to agriculture in the district through training and education on the development of the agriculture sector.
Miss Huadzi who was speaking on the Rite FM Morning Ride explained that through the project, women were equipped with the necessary skills to enhance their farming activities and that the assembly and other corporate bodies have now seen the major roles women played in the agriculture sector, adding that women can now lobby for assistance from the various assemblies.
She noted that previously the concept of decentralization was known to the farmers but thanks to the intervention of the MAASI program the local farmers now know the benefit of the decentralization concept stating that WIAD is now improving through the assistance of the assembly.
