  1. Ghana Disseminating and Sustaining PICS Bags Distribution in the Northern part of Ghana By Harry Addor, John Adu Kumi, Michael K. Amankwah, Eric Korankye andDavid Babayara

  2. OUTLINE FOR PRESENTATION • Background to PICS Bag Distribution in Ghana • Objective • Methodology • Findings • Conclusion

  3. Figure 1: Dissemination and distribution of PICS bags in the Northern part of Ghana

  4. Background cont’d

  5. Identified Challenges • Untimely production of bags for sale • Huge capital investment required for minimum production of bags • Transportation problem due to large and scattered markets • Limited outlets for distribution.

  6. Objective of study In view of the identified challenges and encouraging participation in transfer of PICS technology in Northern Ghana, this study assessed views about factors for Sustainable dissemination and distribution of the PICS bags in order to enhance policy decisions.

  7. Methodology • Factors for sustaining transfer of PICS technology and distribution of bags were obtained through structured interviews with stakeholders • Check-list with Likert scale was used. 10 Vendors, 25 Field Technicians and 20 Farmers participating in PICS from 10 Districts were interviewed n=55.

  8. Data Analysis • Descriptives and Correlation analysis were ran, followed by stepwise regression (SPSS) of 10 factors identified as variables and coded x1, x2, x3 ……… x10. • Predictor variables for sustaining the distribution of PICS bags in Northern Ghana were selected.

  9. CONCLUSION Sustainability of Dissemination and distribution of PICS bags could partly (about 35%) be predicted by: 1. High demand for the PICS bags for storage of cowpea, other legumes and cereals 2. Requests for vendors by farmers in districts not covered by the project 3. Training requests from Field Technicians who did not benefit from PICS trainings. **About 65% more predictors exist which are not explained in this study and need to be explored
