The main objective of AGRUDEF is to provide vocational training for the rural youth, especially the unemployed, in small-scale farming and other employable skills. With the often expressed concerns about environmental degradation in mind, participants will be introduced to ecologically sustainable methods of agriculture.
They will acquire the necessary skills through apprenticeship-style training in crop, animal production, extension services, environmental protection and community development schemes. With these approaches, income levels of the rural communities will rise, and hopefully, the draft of population towards urban areas will slow down.
On the basis of local community support which the foundation has cultivated, and its partnership with some organisations, it will be able to give hope to those who now have no hope, particularly the unemployed youth in the target areas.
The foundation was founded by a group of local professionals in 1997 as non-governmental, independent, voluntary and chartered in Ghana as development organisation, dedicated to promote sustainable agriculture, vocational training and comprehensive community development in the rural sector of the economy in Awutu-Effutu-Senya, Winneba, Central Region of Ghana.
