About this dashboard
WEDGE Africa publishes programme evidence publicly because we believe the development sector needs more organisations willing to share honest data — including findings that challenge their own assumptions.
The data on this dashboard is updated monthly by the WEDGE Africa programme team. It reflects verified, curated findings — not raw, unreviewed field data. The full baseline-to-endline analysis will be published in the Pilot Learning Report in October 2026.

Programme design
GROW is a 6-month field accompaniment — not a training course. The field team visits each participant at her farm every month, reviewing her records, supporting her Farm Business Plan, and connecting her to market opportunities.
Key design features:
Farm Business Record Book — paper-first, with digital option
Peer clusters of 4–5 women meeting independently
Market mapping and direct buyer introductions
Personalised Farm Business Plan for each participant
Price floor calculation and negotiation coaching
Evidence approach
WEDGE Africa measures programme outcomes from Day 1. The evaluation design includes:
Comparison group — women in the same district not in GROW
The Pilot Learning Report — including all findings — publishes publicly in October 2026. All findings will be shared, including those that challenge our assumptions.

GROW vs comparison group
What the evidence approach means
Why we publish this data. WEDGE Africa believes the development sector needs more organisations willing to publish honest evidence — including findings that challenge their own assumptions. This dashboard is our commitment to transparency.
Why we curate before publishing. The data you see here has been reviewed and verified by the programme team before it appears on this page. We do not publish raw field data because preliminary figures without context can be misleading. Every number here is one we stand behind.
The comparison group. GROW includes a comparison group — women in the same district who did not participate in the programme. This allows us to distinguish between changes caused by GROW and changes that would have happened anyway (due to the season, market prices, etc.).
The Pilot Learning Report. In October 2026, we publish the complete analysis — all six KPIs, the comparison group results, three case studies, and a frank account of what did not work. It will be freely available to download from wedgeafrica.org.

About WEDGE Africa
Women Empowerment for Digital and Green Economy in Africa. An evidence-led NGO advancing women's economic empowerment in Ghana's Ashanti Region.
Our mission
WEDGE Africa advances women's economic empowerment through evidence-led agricultural development programmes in Ghana. We believe smallholder women farmers are the primary producers of food in their communities — and that the tools, markets, and resources that translate that work into wealth are systematically withheld from them.
Our work addresses the gender-digital-green gap: the intersection of gender inequality, lack of access to digital tools, and exclusion from climate-smart agricultural practices.
