OCP Ghana Limited has been given a USD 13.57 million (XOF 8.6 billion) contract to purchase and deliver 15,000 tonnes of fertilisers to beneficiary farmers under the Programme de Réilience du Ré Alimentaire (PRSA-NE) in Niger, a calculated move to improve food security and strengthen agricultural resilience throughout West Africa.Due to the need to support the upcoming planting season, the contract was obtained through direct selection (passation de gré à gré) under the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP) and funded by the International Development Association (IDA) through credit IDA-D9250. The contract has a three-month implementation period and was announced on June 17, 2025.Project Synopsis and ImportanceThe goal of the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (P172769), which is being implemented in several Western and Central African nations, is to increase regional capacity to manage agricultural risks, improve food production, and guarantee supply chain stability in the face of market and climate disruptions.Smallholder farmers taking part in Niger's PRSA-NE initiative - an agricultural support project intended to increase crop yields, soil fertility, and household food security - will directly benefit from the fertiliser delivery under this program phase.The contract supports FSRP's overarching objective of increasing agricultural productivity and resilience, particularly in areas susceptible to droughts, price shocks, and resource constraints, by guaranteeing the timely delivery and fair distribution of fertilisers.About OCP Ghana Limited, the Awarded FirmOne of the biggest manufacturers of phosphate-based fertilisers in the world, with its headquarters located in Morocco, is OCP Ghana Limited, a division of OCP Group. With a significant presence throughout West Africa, OCP Ghana has been instrumental in promoting initiatives related to soil health, farmer training, and sustainable agriculture.The company's participation in the FSRP demonstrates its continued dedication to increasing food self-sufficiency, expanding access to high-quality agricultural inputs, and cultivating alliances that support Africa's long-term agricultural transformation agenda.Impact on the Region and Next StepsFor the 2025 - 2026 agricultural cycle, the fertilizer supply contract is anticipated to boost crop production, directly helping thousands of Nigerian farmers and indirectly assisting food systems throughout the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).This initiative represents a major step towards achieving regional food system resilience through targeted input support and coordinated agricultural policy actions, as the Sahel region's agricultural productivity is frequently hampered by unpredictable rainfall and degraded soils.Latest Government Tenders and Contract Awards in Ghana - GhanaTendersGhanaTenders - Your trusted source for latest government tenders, RFPs, RFQs, and contract awards in Ghana Stay updated with the latest public procurement opportunities and tender notices in Ghana at GhanaTenders Find all Ghana government tenders, eProcurement updates, and contract award notices on GhanaTenders Explore live tenders, bids, and procurement opportunities in Ghana with GhanaTenders - The ghana tender portal GhanaTenders brings you verified tenders, procurement news, and contract awards from Ghana #WestAfrica, #Niger, #Ghana, #OCPGhanaLimited, #OCPGroup, #WestAfricaFoodSystemResilienceProgram, #FSRP, #PRSA-NE, #FertilizerSupply, #Agricultural, #FoodSecurity, #IDAWorldBank, #ProcurementNews, #AwardedTenders, #ContractAward, #UrbanDevelopmentProjects, #WestAfricanAgriculture
