The program director, added that they are the only people who can find solutions to these problems and the two days program is to let them delve into the root causes of headers and farmers.
So they have come out with a road map as to how to engage and come together and analyze the problems on the daily basis and then resolve issues and the come up.
” I agree that the next ten years header farmer conflict will be the major concern of our country through out and our research has shown that with the exception of Western North and Western region even Greater Accra is beginning to experience header farmer conflict” he said.
Mr. Sobie Naah, mentioned that as an NGO they will rather go to the grass root way and so when they come together like this they know what can work and what cannot be worked.
He added that at the end of program they will look at certain key actions that stakeholders think they could take up and hopefully, as they take them through and so they can work together on the issues of header farmer conflict
